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's pretty good, I don't really have anything to compare it to though. The football team is pretty decent and the pep rallies are always a lot of fun.

Being at Guyer High School as evolved my education through my teachers and classes. The overall environment of the students is a very uplifting and exciting one, even through hard times. The facilities aren't the best, especially in the fine arts halls. The school focuses more on sports than anything, making the other programs lack. A lot of budget cuts have affected the music programs, and our latin classes have been cut entirely as well.

It was a fun experience, however, the focus of the school was always more on sports than academics. I feel as though many students suffered because there was no intermediate class between AP/Honors and Regular classes. If a student dropped to regular classes, it was almost impossible for that student to go back up. I feel as though most non-AP students were punished for dropping classes.

My children have had the worse experience at this school. Bullying is out of control and to make things worse administration calls bullying another issue of drama. If there was a zero to rate this school I would.

The classes are not very well structured. Most of them don't teach in a way that would benefit the future of the majority of students. There are a lot of bad teachers, and a lot of stuff is tolerated that shouldn't be. The campus is old, and not very well kept up, besides basic cleaning. The electiv...
