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 think GFW need new facilities. Buildings are old and becoming unsafe for kids. Teachers are helpful and positive. Community needs to support the district better and find something better than what is currently happening at the schools.

The small class sizes were very accommodating and provided an ability to foster education in a nurturing environment. I downfall of the school is it's small enrollment, as there was not a diversity of after-school activities and most seasons there was only a one or two opinions for activities.

I liked high school a lot. It taught you a lot. And prepared you for college. The community was good. The students were very friendly. The teachers were helpful. The counselors will help you with anything you need. The school lunches were not always the best tasting. It is a good place to be and learn everything you need to learn in a timely manner. There are a lot of after school activities you can be involved in. There are a lot of sports you can join. You can join choir or band. Its overall a good place to be and a good environment to be a part of.
