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.

What I love the most about Girard High School is the family atmosphere to it. I have a personal connection with almost every teacher there and all of them have been so kind to me. Another thing that I love is the fact that all the teachers are amazing at their jobs. They are all so kind and caring, yet very good at teaching. Most kids don't have to be told to be quiet because they are listening with intent.

I have always had a really great experience at Girard. The atmosphere is great and there is something for everyone to be involved with. Girard is a very inclusive environment with students.

Overall, I am very proud to say that I am a Girard alumna. Since class sizes were so small, there was the capability for more one on one conversations with the teachers. While the resources available to us were limited, we always managed. One complaint I have about Girard is the auditorium. The dressing rooms are very cramped - especially if you're attempting to fit 8+ girls.
