Out of 10, I would give 12. The staff and faculty is awesome, ypu can tell they really care for your child and their education. They involve parents as much as they can, which is a alot. My child loves this school, its smaller but thats one reason he loves it and so do I, no child is over looked or left behind.

I graduated in 2004. My experiences at GCHS prepared me for the outside world and my career in the military. I currently live in a large city in Florida. After graduating from a school like GCHS and living where i'm at now, I think GCHS is a safe and nurturing environment that fosters learning. At most, kids drinking at football games and other adolescent behaviors were the main concern. Compare that to to the Orlando-Orange County public school system with gangs, homicides, and children getting raped in the bathroom. Don't take the faculty, SMALL class sizes ( you don't know crowded until you've lived in a city-100+ kids in a class) or relatively safe location for granted. Every school has its blemishes, but I honestly couldn't have asked for a better high school experience or education.
