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.

Overall, Guilderland is a good experience. For the most part, our school is lacking in school spirit. Our music program is great, but very underfunded.

A school full of focused students working toward a successful future. Students are involved in class activities, labs, etc. and challenge themselves frequently. Teachers stay after several days every week after school to help out students who struggle in various subjects. Overall, the school has faults but has steadily improved over time and will continue to do so in the future as it adapts better policies.

I absolutely love the faculty at Guilderland High School. I have had a great experience both inside and outside the classroom. Everyone who I met was, for the most part, friendly, and I was able to become a part of an amazing friend group who I am still best friends with today. However, I think this school could definitely improve upon the plumbing issues.

This school looks like a dream but in reality its an ugly lie. If you value your child's mental health,...

This school is absolutely fantastic if you hate doing work, but would still like to graduate with a regents degree. The key to your success is to simply not attend class and do as little work as possible during your freshman year. Provided your record looks bad enough, you'll be asked to join the FO...

This school was horrible. Most of the teachers who taught AP classes did not prepare students well for the AP tests. Too many students did drugs. Also, taking core classes was an excuse for being lazy. Core students have plenty of time to study, but they don't. Honors/AP students were arrogant, and...
