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.

Girard High School is a place where anyone can be themselves and feel safe and choose to be whatever they want. The teachers are very involved and we are all like one big family. I honestly love it here and glad I can say I am going to be graduating from here.

My experience at Girard has been contrasted. We are very passionate about our school and given some leadership and other opportunities. But, compared to many other schools we lag behind. We lack advanced placement courses something I really wish we had. I also would like to see a more diversified club and sport atmosphere as currently football is pushed by administration hard while other sports suffer.

My child went from a straight A report card to D's and F's. There is no teaching being...

GHS is a good school, with staff operating in the challenging environment that is NE Ohio and I applaud their efforts. However, the populace overemphasizes the sports aspects vice academics, which, unfortunately will not prepare students for the 21st Century. Further, I disagree with the parent hera...
