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.

The best part about Gordon High School is the care they show for the students. They prepare us to go into the world and be the best people. I do not have anything bad to say about this school I 100% recommend this school to anyone searching.

Gordo High School has been a really great school. They have been very helpful throughout my highschool career. I was a member of the GHS Band every year that I was a student. I would to see the school pay more attention to the needs of extracurricular activities' such as the band. I would also like to see the facilities updated. There are many areas in the school that need attention. A good bit of the floors need to be replaced and the outside of the school is needs to be updated.

The best thing about Gordo high school is the support from the community, should it be football, baseball, band or any other extracurricular activity. The worst part is some staff members play favorites but not all of them.

I witnessed a great deal of racism and the severity of corporal punishment was determined by race factors. Even so, I never saw a single person question these decisions or complain about them.
