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 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.

My experience was about average. I feel like the college readiness in my school is poor. Other than that, I feel like all other areas are average with room to improve.

My experience at Gurdon High has been great. The teachers are wonderful and will help you if you ask. Don't ever get behind on your work because it's hard to catch up.
