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.

Ghidotti does a great job preparing students for college and their future careers. Teachers are compassionate and care about their students. Ghidotti could do a better job on providing more school activities and extracurriculars.

Ghidotti is a very good opportunity for any student to stumble upon. It offers flexibility, a chance for growth, and a plethora of community college classes. Ghidotti allows students to explore what their future major could be.

Ghidotti is an intensive but very giving program. Students have access to a community college classes where they are allowed to take college classes every semester. This gives students the option to finish their IGETC courses before going to college. The workload is heavy but manageable, and the teachers prepare you for college and what comes after it. It's sometimes very stressful but the rewards are worth it.
