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.

Garland High School has the necessary resources for a school to function. Its IB program is a great opportunity for low-income students to be involved in higher education. However, its lack of resources prevents students from being able to achieve and understand their capabilities.

Students are wondering about the purpose of so many counselors. Most are unapproachable and unhelpful. Cant even be found! Students feel like absolutely there is no care within admin.
