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.

Gulfport High School is a good school. Administrators are very involved. One thing that could be better is school events. Have more of them.

Gulfport allowed me to be virtual during the pandemic as I have family members with compromised immune systems. They also gave me the opportunity to attend our local community college at the same time. When I graduated highschool, I also graduated with my associates degree.

I like the fact of how involved my teachers were in my education. They helped me make my decision to enroll in college and further my education. I only wish that they had more classes on financial literacy, something we will need after we graduate school.

Gulfport High School is dedicated to raising the standards of education, not only within the state, but on par with the greatest schools in the Nation! I've never considered myself an academic, in fact, I couldn't stand High Shcool! It was boring and I felt the education I was receiving was complete...
