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 went to school here and didn't have a good experience. I ended up in cheer and choir and band when started as a freshman and by my senior year I did none of it and was attending college courses off campus to not have to be there as often. The choir teacher would favor other students, and I no longer wanted to be involved in any school activities due to the fact I would've been forced to take more classes.

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.

Overall the experience was a 6/10. The safety aspect changed throughout my time there. At first it was good then admin stopped caring as much.

Obviously, funding is not...

The school has gone into “secure” twice in the last two weeks. There has been little to no contact with family. There has bee...

I can never talk to one person. Constantly changing councilors and staff,missed communication from department to department, and an inability of the school to admit that kids are falling between the cracks is frustrating and unfair to the students and parents. 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...
