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 overall experience at GHS isn't to bad but it does have a bunch of flaws as of recent years just dealing with new administration and also a lot of gun threats.

There have been many times in the past couple years but especially in this last year where the administration has failed to communicate effectively with students, parents, and teachers. There is also a severe lack of school spirit especially when it comes to sporting events most likely due to the fact that a lot of our sports teams are not great. The performing arts generally seem to be good both choir and theater have gone to state the past few years and the band is good as well.

My daughter will attend Springwater bas...

This school is terrible. I've tried to attend here twice. The main part of the school is over a century old. They are bitter rivals. And when my sister attended they lost her transcripts. Very few teachers are actually helpful. And they spend all they're money for school sports and not something wor...

I graduated from Gresham High School in 2010. All 4 years of HS I transferred to GHS because I was out of district. One of the reasons I transferred every single year was that no other school offered AVID, I can proudly say that I was part of the first generation of AVID. This school has resources t...
