GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Within my experience at Gatesville High School I have encountered many obstacles. These obsticles have taught me how to become a better person and introduced me to what the outside world is going to be like.I was offered many different classes and opportunities, in which they prepared me for my college readiness. If I can say one thing big about my school, it would be that sports is a top priority and academics is important on both the court and in the classroom.

I hated my time at Gatesville High School, a lot of people there are racists, and students are constantly setting people up to go to prison. There were some good teachers and good students, but overall if I could do it again I would go anywhere else rather than Gatesville High School.

The school had good people, but most teachers were biased and rude. The school prioritized football and nothing else. The school board was outdated and made terrible long lasting decisions.

It was a mediocre experience. Though the busdrivers should have been dealt with instead of principles who lie for them. And that they shouldnt have a position in the actual school buildings
