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.

Honestly, the school isn't bad. It is nice and offers much for career exploration and college readiness. My only problem with the school is the actual students. Many don't seem to care and drag others down with them. I want to see that change and that those students can have as many opportunities to grow as the rest of the student body.

Garden Spot has many programs for students outside of the classroom. These programs help with technical aspects you can not get inside classes. The curriculum should be changed to be more up-to-date with the things going on in today's society. I did not feel college-ready when graduating, leaving me at a disadvantage in college. Not much time is spent preparing students for the real world.

Garden spot is overall very nice. It offers a good range of course and pathways for students! The only thing I would change is the relationships between students and staff. It can defiantly be strong which would also help with behavioral issues.
Teachers care about their students at Garden Spot High School and properly equip them to become productive within society. One of our children has graduated and another is about to graduate. And, we have three others behind them and feel confident in sending them to this school.
