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.

I've attended GHHS for all 4 years, and all I have to say is that my experience has been wonderful. I could not have asked for a better fine arts program than this one, and the community of peers is like a second family to me. I've appreciated and enjoyed most teachers I've had, both academic and in the arts. Of course, a public school will come with its downfalls, but that is not the fault of the staff or students.

As a parent, I feel compelled to share my experience with this high school in the hope that others can make a more informed decision.

We have two students that currently attend this school. They are engaged, like attending the school and have made many friends at the school. The academics at the school are good and in most cases there is help available through "Smart Lunches" if you are struggling. Our senior did above state avera...
