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.

Gloucester High School is a place where everyone feels welcomed and connected to each other. Everyone in the building knows each other and is very friendly. The teachers and staff at my high school take pride in the building and their students. They will go through any lengths to help a student with anything from school work to even personal problems that they are struggling with. It feels like a family that will continue to grow stronger through the years.

Gloucester City High School is a very good school for those who don't want to be in a huge class. There are cliques; however, they aren't like how the media says they are. Most people are very friendly and will try to include you in many different conversations and activities. Gloucester City High school is a diverse and friendly school.

It is very simple to use so far. I have just signed up for niche, and this is my first survey. It was easy to sign up and if I can get a scholarship out of this, it will be an even greater experience.
