Absolutely horrible. When I had finally made the decision to take my kids out of this school I had just begun to realize how badly this school had affected them. My 2 oldest kids were put in the special needs class for no reason and without any warning to me.Even though my kids were diagnosed with autism they showed little to no visible signs of autism and were learning just fine. My kids were already reading before they started in this school, after 2 months of being in that class when I asked my kids how school was and what they learned, to my shock, my boys said they played with toys all day and the teacher didn’t teach them anything. Their reading skills had deteriorated gradually since they were put in that class. I hope to never set foot in that horrid building ever again. I definitely DO NOT recommend this school for anyone who

This school has serious safety issues. Students frequently bully one another, which creates an unsafe environment. During my time here, I have noticed that whenever a serious incident is reported, the staff does not seem to take the problem seriously. Many students also often use racial slurs against their peers. For example, in sixth grade, my friend mentioned her plan to wear a hijab, and the next day, when she did, she was called a “t3rr0r!st” by several people. While the education here is alright, the overall environment of the school leaves much to be desired.

The car rider line being screwed up is a metaphor for how the entire school operates. Massive lack of organization. I attended GVHS in 2021 when it was brand new and graduated in 2024. To say that GVHS let my family and I down would be an understatement. When I attended, it was overcrowded despite being a new school. Now, it is even more overcrowded. The principal is never anywhere to be seen and several admin and security guards are spread thin throughout the school. The influences throughout the school are horrible and have gotten worse. My brother ended up switching to online. There was a lack of professionalism with the teachers. They would often treat students more like friends or peers or even play favorites with certain types of students. There have been drug problems since the start that have never been officially addressed. Students get up to god knows what in the bathrooms which is honestly a shame for students who are trying to innocently go about their day yet get lumped into all this mess. The fights have always been an issue, even resulting in serious injuries or staff members getting injured. I had an IEP throughout school bc of my learning disability, and I will say that GVHS barely did anything to support me. Still a miracle how I somehow passed math because I barely ever had anyone work with me on it. The tutoring they offered after school was peer tutoring anyways. Overall, this school has never had a positive culture/environment or anything. It has been a place that continues to bring students down. The lack of disorganization is at the root of the issues.
