This School’s Reviews

5.0 Alum

11/4/2024

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.

5.0 Senior

10/2/2024

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

5/15/2024

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.
