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.

In most cases, I have to give Gurdon High School an average rating. This is simply because, as a district, the school doesn't take any extra measure in order to make things the best as possible. The conditions are better than a lot of places that are struggling, but they could definitely be better.

It's a really nice school academic wise, but I wish there were more clubs students could get involved in.

Our school isn't very big. We're a 2A school so everyone pretty much knows each other. Our teachers try to maintain rules in the classrooms to limit bullying and they treat everyone the same. They don't accept students mistreating each other. The school nurse tries to provide healthy and nutritious info for every student and makes sure that each student is healthy.
