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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

My experience about this school is that teachers will always help students when they ask for it. Allthough, I don't like the underclassmen, I love the performing arts here and all the cultural activities we do. Espessically because we are a small town we all do a lot of parent-student activities.

The school was very good last year. This year is very different, they added lots of rules and regulations about phones. This rule doesn't change anything about how kids learn or make kids want to learn. This just is a a violation of self respect to student restricting things that are our property.

I love GPHS, I graduate in 2025, I'm a rising senior & im soo grateful for the opportunity's this school has given me, I'm in numerous clubs like StuCo, NHS, SHS, TAFE, Orchestra & I was in Varsity Mariachi.
This school is as bad as ever with the new principal who does not want to discipline students. She has allowed the school further deteriorate into chaos. It's a shame as this school has great facilities and offerings that are wasted by the students, parents and community.
