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 in GSP has been great overall. I had no choice of any other schools because of the fact that all of the generations have went to this school.Im the Youngest child in a family of 5. My mom is a sinlge mother and i have 3 other siblings who are older. Ive heard many things from when they went to this school and i think this school has changed alot. The diversity in this school has went down and their arent many other ethnicitites here. I have also witnessed stuff that has helped me open my eyes and realize that this school has potential.This school is overall amazing and has been a great school year and i wouldnt have decided to go to any other school. I have built and lost friendships during myyears of going here. I am also very grateful about this schol because they have endless oppurtunities. They are also very helpful for those students who are in need. For example if you take the bus and need money the school offers clipper cards.

I feel like this school can be very helpful with assignments and college enrollments. But I feel like they can be very strict with phone rules which is something I specifically dont agree with.

As a current senior who has attended GSP since middle school I can say my experience has been good overall. Teacher involvement was always there. I was always able to create relationships with my teachers. However, living in a poor neighborhood resources are limited and the content taught could improve a lot more.

If I could give this school zero stars, I would. The staff here often seem unable or unprepared to deal with discipline or classroom management issues. Kids often curse in class, walk around campus aimlessly, and are disrespectful to the teachers and each other. I see the principal walking around of...
