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.

I come into the school to learn that it is in a city of high crime where I need to worry about whether I am safe today or not. Opportunities are not talked about and counselors do not reach out to support the students. I want my beloved city were I was born and raised to give low income students like myself resources to a higher education.

For attending Garey High School, what I like most are the staffs, who are very helpful, the school itself, which is not to big nor to small, and the academics that are given there, such as AP and Honor courses. As for one thing I would like to change, it would be the food. This is because I believe each school should have decent lunches where we are able to consume more nutrients in our daily school lunches, all for breakfast and lunch.

Can't say much this year due to coronavirus, but the 2 years that I have been there, it has been alright. All the teachers that I have had so far helped me in many ways to pass the class. I can't say that Garey is the best school, but it is also not the worst.
