This is an awesome school. Don't let statistics and state numbers/rates fool you! I moved my family here when both of my kids were starting High School/Junior High and in retrospect, I'm happier for having my kids attend GHS than I am about moving to the area. My kids were previously in the Fort Wayne Community School system, and let me tell you - what a huge difference! I simply was amazed at the relationships between the teachers and students, and the relationships between the students. For the most part, all of the kids "got along". There was no bullying at this school, simply because all of the kids stood up and supported each other - like it should be! The staff and teachers supported the kids in everything they did, and above all instilled integrity and morality. I simply cannot say enough good about this school - I went to school at a small country school and had experience with the big city schools, but was truly amazed at the overall atmosphere at GHS. The teachers love what they do and the administration cares about the academics as well as the social aspects of the students. Just because test numbers look low, doesn't mean the kids aren't truly prepared for college or other after high school activities - the teachers teach the students to LEARN - not to learn to take tests. There is a very strong arts (band/show choir/etc.) and a very dedicated sports program that not only focuses on the major sports but also supports the smaller club/team sports. Both of my kids are now in college, and doing well. If you want a good review, ask a parent or student what they think - don't just look at the numbers!

Horrible, upsetting. I feel my child is depleted of joy and happiness at pick up! We are looking into private schools in the area.

This school is great as long as your child has no medical problem and can work by themselves. There are many good teachers at this school who do care and try to help. All that being said there are issues. The head nurse refused to call us back two different times. We have to call, and call & call, oh, yea and call again till you happen to reach her in person. When trying to get help for my child the head nurse suggested I home school. The principal suggested to someone else that we were just keeping my child home at the slightest thing. My child has a doctor diagnosed health condition that makes certain things hard. They never did provide any help. The administrative & nursing side of the school is a one star in my book. That does not translate to the teachers though. I would give the ones we have dealt with 5 stars. They put up with a lot from students and administration. I am just going to average a three star on the rating but it depends on whether it is the administrative side or the teachers.
