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.

Gilroy High School is a school with the students and their families at heart. I can personally say as a student currently attending GHS that there is never a dull moment here. Whether there is a spirit day or a football game everyone is always involved in something. I would highly recommend this school not just for it's academics but for the community involvement and the diversity of the people.

Gilroy High school has been an amazing school and I'm only a freshman. I am very involved in the school because I am part of the BSA (Biomedical Science Academy), Dual Immersion, and High step program as well as many clubs. I have learned so much and really enjoy all of these programs and opportunities at Gilroy High.
