Most of my classes have been great. I have especially learned a lot in all of the math classes I have taken here.

George County staff truly cares about the students and does their best to help them achieve. If I could change anything, I would provide more AP courses.

George County High School is a decent high school. It has everything that is needed for a high school; however, it still lacks for improvements. The resources are very minimum. Overall, GCHS give its students all the basic knowledge they need.
