During my experience going to school in Gorton high school i can say that it's a good school but some of the kids there cause trouble which affects the safety of the school that's why every student gets searched before they go inside the school.

I enter to Gorton High School in my 10th grade just went the pandemic hit, and it was incredible how teachers and staff we're looking for us to be safe and be confident to talk to them. This school is amazing how everyone works in the school as a family, I am a class of 2022 graduated and with my eyes close I can say this school makes in my life a big significance because I make strong friendship, meet the best teachers that for me are my family. This school also show me what is my passion, I learn English and make me a different person.

The teachers are very personal and make sure you're on top of your education and mental/emotional state. What can change could be the behavior of the students, but that is only due to the location/neighborhood of the school.

The students are nasty, there is a lot of bullying and fights. No one pays attention in class - it is hard to learn...
