Very Diappointing espcially starting current session school and the councillars are not helpful to accomodate students for 11 grade even AP English classes they are asked to join ON LINE CLASSES which is mockery,playing with student's career!

the staff is very rude and did not help students with difficulties at school. I had to change my son from school. I'm disappointed.

School seems to be filled with staff that don't really care about the students.

All around rude staff and teachers. They think they are untouchable and can say and do whatever they want. They treat the students as inconveniences and like to create a lot of weird unnecessary rules just so kids can break them and they can punish them harshly.

I have been completely happy with the education my daughter is receiving at GVHS. Working from home during the COVID pandemic has allowed me to see how hard each of the teachers have worked to promote student success.

The open campus helps watch over kids and give kids freedom to have space to move around during lunch and passing periods.
