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.

My time at Garber High School has been good. I love the programs I'm a part of, esports and the band, they are taught/advised by excellent individuals that I can always get along with. I don't have any major digs, there's really not much to complain about apart from a few select teachers but that's fine where are you gonna go where there's not a teacher you don't like? Exactly. Overall it's a great school and I'd recommend it.

Personally I have had very little problems when it comes to Garber High School. I have friends, I am doing well, and a large majority of the teachers I have had are more than willing to help students. I would say the largest issue is the lack of discipline. Oftentimes it feels like students are able to get away with things, and I have had a friend in the past leave the Garber High School system because of an incident with another student that the school did not handle properly. However, I personally have not had a lot of issues with the school.

While the support from teachers is great most of the time, I'd like to see more students supporting students.

I'm a current student, and i love garber. The teachers are top notch, student involvement is great, and the community support is just as well. The curriculum is very hard, but it proves better for the future if you stay on top of things. The block scheduling is a little hard to get used to, but its...
