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.

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.

GCHS is great for academics but the administration involvement and lack of accountability for students can make it dangerous and harmful mentally and academically. Classes are great for college readiness with a great amount of dual credit and so courses to choose from, and many facilities and programs available for different career paths.

GCHS is a terrific school! I put three kids through there and nothing but positive experiences. I have watched my peers struggle with the private school decision for high school, especially with their kids coming out of private elementary schools, but we had no such concern with GCHS. First class te...
