6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is awful as a child i felt like i was being singled out by some of the teachers and students. The teachers never did anything. I dont know if it was because of the racism problem in this town or the staff just didnt care. When i was hit by other children a long time i ago i was the one who got punished i couldnt play. I spent nights at my house crying and crying it didnt only hurt to be made fun of by literal children but adults as well. Its safe to say this school contributed to my awful childhood and as someone who doesnt even want them i wouldnt let my children come here i wouldn't allow myself to be hurt the same way this school hurt me. Im not saying this school was not ok but for the sake of being honest just take this review as adviceOther Review9mo ago - Gloucester High School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGHS is a school riddled with problems. Many teachers aren't sufficiently knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. Teachers are often rude and defensive when questioned. The administration is weak, disengaged and inept. There are no standard procedures for instruction, or the assignment and grading of student work. There is a culture of complacency. This is not a high school that nurtures intelligent students or prepares them for college. Sadly it is the only choice for Gloucester residents.Parent Review11mo ago - Peasley Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis schools actually pretty chill the staff is really nice and so are the teachers! Watch out for that one teacher though….wouldnt recommend letting your kids AROUND HIM. but other than that its a good school the only issue is the bully and constant threats happening between students along with racism as a whole the school is ok the only problem is the behavior of studentsOther Review9mo ago
