Goose Creek High School is an overall average school. The teachers do their job at teaching but the school bathrooms are not kept orderly. The learning is good though.

I personally think the school could do better on academics its still a struggle to keep up everything, but overall its not the worst school to be at I enjoy most the teachers, there rules are understandable , and the people are nice most of the time. Its not always the cleanest but we get lucky every 2 months with our school. The school is missing lots of supplies but the teachers do everything they can to give what is needed. Overall I would say it is a 6/10.

Honestly, My time being at Goose Creek High wasn't the best, It was decent. With me being a black student a female at that trying to get into the STEM program it is very prestigious. I didn't get to a lot of connections either.
