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.

Gentry High School is very fun open many opportunities I have achieved. My Mom Grandparents Aunt and Uncle attended Gentry and graduated from Gentry. What I love about Gentry is the teachers they help you out with anything you trying to reach. They reward you on your accomplishments. The worst is we need more safety routines I mean I feel safe but we just need more security. Another thing is the Sports and Band need more support at our school. Gentry football team have been like the way it is now.

My overall experience is a 7/10. It was a huge transition coming from a private school. The best part was being around more minorities and meeting some amazing friends. The worst parts were how terrible the administration was. I do think that this school needs a better principal, and their staff needs to come together more.

My overall experience was good. I think there you some changes that need to be made also. Sometimes the air doesn't function properly. Also the heat sometimes doesn't work.
