I can only describe this school and all of its teachers and staff with the very best words. Throughout my child’s years of education here, I never once needed to review any lessons with them, because every day they came home having fully learned everything at school. The teachers and staff are always engaged with families and respond to our questions and needs in the shortest possible time.For me, one of the most beautiful signs of this school’s quality is that my younger child cried for days at the beginning of every summer break because they missed their teachers so much. I truly believe this shows that all of the teachers are not only highly professional and skilled but also incredibly kind and caring.

This school was dirty and the staff did not accommodate to any of the students needs.

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.
