The best thing about Gurdon High School is the environment and the drive the teachers have to teach the children. The worst thing is the food. The one thing I would like to change is the dress code and how children dress like there going to a club instead of school to get an education and not a date

I enjoyed some people at school, but for the most part, there wasn't enough care put into our school. By faculty, administrators, and other students.

Few teachers are the only reason to keep going here. Most of the faculty turn a blind eye to things happening to students since they don't want a bad reputation. Even certain teachers are aware of the problems but aren't able to do much at all to help students other than just teach students and tell to to try and make an effort to speak up.
