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.

GUGCS has been a great fit our family. My oldest child graduated the elementary school several years ago, and my youngest attends now. The last few years has seen an improvement in the diversity of the staff, and they've added deans who are incredible. Great music, art, science, PE, Spanish teachers. Caring, fun staff who truly look to educate the whole child.
