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.

it was ok if students try to look for help u will be able to find it. I only hated that the dress code and the bathroom break was so strict

If there is one good thing about Garinger it would be the sense of community when you surround yourself with the correct people. We might not have the best reputation, but we still bring home awards, we still have school events, and we still have great students doing great things. Despite how much I complain about it, Garinger is great for students like me: diverse.

I liked how interactive everyone is. I was new to Garinger and I felt very welcomed by teachers who didn't even know me, They were very supportive and helpful. The students had a lot of spirits and they're very outgoing and there isn't any drama which I like that coming from a different state and seeing something way different.
