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.

Attending Gloucester City High School is the best choice a student could make. The environment within this school gives the feeling of safety and students and teachers feel like a family. I am proud to have graduated from this school and I hope every single student who has graduated from and is attending this school feels the same.

Gloucester City Junior/Senior High School has helped me achieve so many things. The staff and the energy involved in learning motivated me to want to expand my education in hopes that one day I could work in that environment. Without this school, I would not have chosen to go to college and major in Mathematics and Education. I love absolutely everything about this school and the people in it.

Gloucester City High School has become my second home. It's a school where every student can feel like themselves without the fear of being judged or turned away. With such a small number of students I've been able to meet everyone and creates strong relationships with fellow students, staff members, and teachers. With supportive athletic coaches, and exciting fans, the intense games become a highlight of the week. Between Friday night lights in the fall, evening basketball games in the winter, and mid-day baseball games, there's always something to look forward to. I don't believe I would be where I am today if I did not choose to attend Gloucester City Highschool. The entire Gloucester High community words towards creating a pathway to success no matter where the destination is leading to.
