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.

My overall experience at Lake Gibson Senior High School, I would say is not that bad. My freshman year was a little rocky but then I started to get comfortable in my school. My sophomore year was really refreshing. I was in color guard, and I loved it until the coach ruined it for me. I then didn't continue my junior year. During my 3rd year in high school, it was tough and i was really struggling. My senior year is going by smoothly, some classes are just challenging at times. Overall, I had a few teachers I was close with, and the environment was not that bad but I'm glad to be starting a new chapter soon.

Lake Gibson senior high is arguably the best school in north Lakeland and one of the best wrestling schools in the nation, our football team isn't that good but teachers are very nice and will help you

The best part is getting to know all of your teachers and faculty on a personal level, and the classes are really easy to pass so there should be a no problem graduating. The worst part is mostly the school food, Polk County public schools in general do not provide the best food. I would like to see an increase in spending in the food provided to the students.

Theyll send your kid to the learning center (detention) for the dumbest reasons where they learn nothing for the entire day. Teachers have stated that they're just there to get a check. This school will forever be a D School. They need to be more focused on TEACHING the kids.

My oldest child is graduating this year, and he has had straight A's for the past three years. He spent his freshman year at McKeel Academy, but was unhappy there, so we transferred.
