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.

I liked that the teachers weren't harsh on students and were easy to talk to. I didn't like that the school had students with the majority of them being either in a gang or violent. I would change how strict the rules are and the cleanliness of the school in a whole.

What I liked about Gage Park Is there are a lot of teachers and staff that can really connect one on one with students about issues outside of the classroom. One thing I would love to see change is Gage parks resources and teachers because the school needs to have better learning experiences for us.

I have not had any problems with this school. Its not a bad school the teachers know how to teach and they are not very strict. Everyone can learn different things and there is different kind of classes for what you might be interested in. Also the teachers are helpful with any problems that you might have. There is different people that you can talk to for any problem you might have from attendance to something that might be happening at home.
