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.

Gila Ridge is an excellent school for a driven, self-guiding student willing to advocate for him/herself. Gila Ridge is a horrible school for students who are prone to poor influences, as a significant portion of the student body will only serve to make said student worse.

My overall experience during my 4 years in Gila Ridge High School has been amazing. There are many amazing teachers that help you with whatever you need. For example, help with resumes. I have had a lot of opportunities in this school, from getting to learn how to work with clay and how to teach preschoolers.

I was thoroughly disappointed as I watched two of my children attend this school. I'm a VErY involved parent, so I volunteer and remain nearby to be easily accessible if the need arises. The counselors seemed to not care on sharing information (SAT/ACT dates, Scholar, Dual Enr avail,), so DO YOUR OW...
