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.

Gettysburg was a great highschool which allowed for many student to reach and achieve their goals. The extracurriculars were great and feel they made everyone feel involved. Teachers were very personable and always wanted their students to succeed.

Truthfully, it's an overall great school. The occasional bad teacher, occasional bad experience but people are kind, the music and sports programs are great, and academics as hard as you want them.
1.0 Junior

It sucks. Admins don't really do anything to help students, sure we have opportunities that other kids don't but they pick on dress code rules and do nothing about bullying even when it's right in front of them. Its really sad. Another thing is a lot of the food; especially the fruits and veggies have mold on them its gross to be honest.
