In my personal experience this school has a lot to offer and there are people to help you but you really have to look for the resources.This school could improve in a few ways like their buildings and choice of funding. Teachers here are helpful as well as positive and very engaging with students. The number of sports is big but most funding gets put into football rather than evenly distributed,

My experience in the High School is a great way to start your day once you enter those gates. These staffs always have a smile on there face which makes you feel loved in the school. They have clubs for everyone which is on of the best things for us that feel different from anyone in the school. Some of my worst experiences would be some of the teachers not letting you do some things for example have a chat with your friends during class and just being quiet for the whole period of time.

This school was the worst school that i would not recommend any parent on having there kids going to . Since my son started the 9th grade i asked for help and only one time did he get counciled. He was bullied all though his high school years there. I spoke to his magnet counselor and she never help...

As a former student of Garfield,I too think it is a great school. The AP classes and teachers are excellent,I had the good fortune to be taught by some of those teachers. Overall it is a good school and I had a great time there as a student but if there was one negative it would be the lack of teach...
