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.

My overall experience at Gibbs high school was really good ,it helped me be more confident about myself it helped me grow and improve on myself. I joined the band my sophomore year and i literally fell in love . I'm in the beta program here at Gibbs and I learn new things about technology everyday. Here at Gibbs high school it's a great place for teaching and learning.

I've went to Gibbs high school since 9th grade im now a senior and I would say it's very eye opening the good parts are the school is all into activities and sports but the worst parts are actually learning getting ur education preparing you for the real world our school priorities are completely all over the place the teachers did not care nor engage if the students wanted to actually learn they half do things ;the safety at the school also is very dangerous students use to sell drugs in the halls smoke and the bathrooms they only cared for sports !!

My daughter is in the Performing Arts PCCA program. They are great in what they teach. My daughter received an award for most talented multimedia production. The thing they need to work on is letting students know ahead of time when they are having exams such as the SAT/ACT.

We really struggled with the decision of where to send my daughter for HS. She spent K-8 at a private school so we were looking at public choice as well as private.Ultimately, I let her decide, and after auditioning for their dance program, she decided this was the place. She is just finishing out h...
