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.

Very big and everyone seems to be in a rush. Teachers just think about you as just another number in a piece of paper. Nice updated facilities though.

In my years at Gifford, I feel I've grown both academically and as a person. Gifford, like anything else, is not without its flaws, but it's a safe and comfortable place. It's home to me.

Awful. Not a child friendly school. More like a soulless institution
