For areas of improvement,I'd like to see less fights at the school and less school threats circulating. What I like most is being in the arts programs. The quality of the choir program and the auditorium is excellent. The teachers are great. The school shares information about scholarships very effectively with students. My counselor was very helpful. Their dual and concurrent enrollment program is incredibly beneficial to students.

This place is horrible. For high-achieving students the school doesn't focus on thems or correctly prepare them to move on. The counselors, staff, and admin are so lazy and dont even do the bare minimum. I immediatly switched schools after one year at Gila Ridge High School.

The counselors seemed to not care on sharing information (SAT/ACT dates, Scholar, Dual Enr avail,), so DO YOUR OW...
