Gibbs High School

the schools principals lack the common knowledge of understanding how they make the students very depressed. many students have dropped out do to the new administrators

Teachers not really into teaching, students not into challenging themselves, many of the boys must want to be in WCW since they love to fight. No real effort by students to get out of the same Gibbs label: education not all that important.

Gibbs used to be a great school. Recent poor leadership has left the school with very little discipline and low teacher morale. The new principal seems to lack a personality that is conducive to being a good leader. Teachers are very caring but seem frustrated.

Gibbs used to be an outstanding school in both academics and athletics. Since the retirement of Mr. Taylor, the school has gone straight down hill. Discipline is just about nonexistent and teachers are really depressed. What happened to strong administrators? We need one again!

totally agree with a few of the other reviews... gibbs sure was a disapointment for me too. i just knew if my child survived middle school at holston that gibbs would be 'home' again but not the case.. some of the teachers are for sure in diar need for training. some act so imature that its hard to say which is teacher and which is student...disapointed parent

I graduated from Gibbs in 2007. I loved the school. The school has good students and teachers. Just like every school there are a few students and teachers that are not so good. If you want your child to learn, make them take higher classes because that will make them better for college.

Gibbs High School is a pretty good school although students and parents are more apathetic than they used to be. There is not much drive among the student body to excel, but the kids are pretty good kids. A student can receive an outstanding education at Gibbs if he takes the hardest classes and gets the hardest teachers. I would try to keep my kids in the upper level courses (particularly AP) because of the smaller class sizes. If you really want to get some guidance about which classes and teachers to take, ask some of the teachers who have been there awhile.

I am very disappointed in the quality of most of the teachers at Gibbs. I can't believe how unprofessional some have been... They do not seem to care if the child suceeds or not!!!! Some of the teachers need to attend some child psyc. classes and realize what influence they have with our children...It's an embaressment the way some of them behave!!! A disappointed parent.

I graduated from Gibbs High school in 2006, I love the school because the teachers are involved with the students. They go out of there way to make sure each student understands what is going on the class so everyone is on the same page. There were only a couple things that bothered me within the 4 years I attended.
