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.

The best part of Gaither has been the overall "high school experience." I participated in the sports and music programs and they were both very impactful. The "worst" part was probably just unhappiness when it came to teachers or admin, but this is definitely normal for high school students.

For the administration to care more about the teachers they hire. To realize that teachers are the reason why some kids don't want to learn.

Gaither is your typical public high school. I feel we can always improve in our teaching choices and methods to have more encouragement and involvement within the student body.
