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.

it barely offers any extra curricular. they're mostly agriculture oriented or knowledge balls. lack of cultural organization. probably because most of the students are white.

For a small school most of the teachers not only teach but participate and help lead extra curricular activities making it possible for this small school to have many offerings.
