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 have had a good experience Gaither however I know that that is only because I am involved. In sports, student council and a few clubs. If you do not get involved you will not know about events and anything else because of the horrible communication at gaither as well as the sad excuse for administrators. If you need something one, do it yourself because admin WILL NOT help for care.

Gaither has made me such a better person and learn how to be myself and not care about how other people feel about me. The sports and events are amazing and if anybody wants to come to gaither i promise you will have the best time here. I have made so many memories you just have to go for it and grow from mistakes.

Overall, Gaither is a very good school. The staff, as a whole, is very supportive of the student body and wants to see them succeed. In general, the building itself is a very good learning environment. It's kept very clean, the classrooms are a decent size, and the layout of the building isn't too hard to figure out.

This was years ago, so hopefully, the bad eggs are gone, but from what I can tell, most of those incompetent, unfit staff members have been promoted to higher positions within the county school system. Ever heard of Channing Tatum? He absolutely h...
