Gaithersburg High provides a wholesome education for my ninth grade daughter. The staff is pleasant and committed. There are many positive things going on at this school.
As an alumni from GHS over 30 years ago, I now have two children attending GHS. My oldest is a senior has enjoyed her academic classes tremendously. Being involved in the Academy of Finance has helped develop her decision on what to study in college. The honors classes have pushed her harder than if she had taken on level classes. My youngest is a sophmore and is pushing himself by sticking with the honors classes as well. Yes, they have both had a couple of bad teachers, but overall I don't hear either of them complaining about not being taught well. Most of the teachers are available for extra help during lunch and after school. GHS gets an unfair bad reputation. There are definitely worse schools in this county. All GHS needs is a facelift!!
Good school academically. If you are a student willing amd eager to learn, there is a wide-range of opportunities and activities to pursure.
I'm currently a junior at GHS, soon to be a senior. GHS is a great school, but you ought to join activities and take AP classes in order to get the best experience. I do not give a hoot about the building. It's just fine. I assure all potential GHS parents that your child will receive a valuable education here, but they must want to learn. Avoid taking on-level courses if possible. Those classes have the students that mostly overshadow our school's relatively successful student body. Many of the aforementioned troublemakers are few in number. I dislike that GHS is sometimes looked down upon because of them. We truly have highly intellectual people here. Your child just needs to find these bright students. Then I guarantee that they will have success.
