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.

This isn't an overall bad school here they provide a great verity of programs and opportunities but most of the administrators make me feel like I am in a prison and is overall rude. I would like to see the school's faculty improve on their hospitality. We shouldn't feel scared to talk to our administrators.

I like how everyone is social at Germantown; especially with the amount of clubs we have, etc. But, there are fights that happen throughout the school year. Depending on the teacher, you will have a better learning experience.

The best part of my experience at Germantown High was definitely the friends and other people I met along the way. The teachers were always supportive and made sure we had everything we needed in order to prepare us for the future.Football games were always great times for social hour and everyone became involved in cheering on the team.The worst part of my experience might've been the open campus and having to walk to class in the rain when I forgot my umbrella. I would like to see more involvement in the ROTC program from the faculty in the future .

Horrific, this school is one of the worst in the city. Don't let AP and IB classes fool you, most kids won't even pass a single exam. This is due to the poor teaching of students traded for the advantage of a few. The teachers and administrators provide far better care for economically advantaged an...
