Gilmer High School

I find nothing, except perhaps the football program, exceptional about the school. Though there are some great teachers, the majority are forced to turn a blind eye to any misconduct of football players. The admin. is very poor in my ipinion.

I was a former studen at gilmer high school and graduated there in 2006, the best experience i have had at a school, they had alot of clubs to be apart of and alot of extracurricular activities to be in and you were never bored there, the teachers cared about your grade and you as a person, and the students were friendly and careful also, i am happy to say i graduated there.

Terrible school system. Academically unacceptable. The schools answer to children not doing well in school is to send the child to summer school. By miracle, the child passes classes in a short number of weeks that they could not pass before in months of study. I pulled my child out of the school system because of this. Child could not do the work when I tested them. Superintendent had the same answer. Send to summer school. Maybe someone needs to clean the house at this place and start over. I know many parents that have had the same problem.

My daughters previously attended a Christian school, with extremely strict academic values. Although I strongly agree with the Christian values of Gilmer High School, I am disappointed with the academic and teaching structure. I feel much time is wasted in the classroom.

From first hand experience, I would rate this school very low. There are problems with the staff. This school district needs to train their staff to be equal to White, Blacks, Hispanics and any other ethnic group in order to keep their children in this school. Luckily I have used the bad experience that I had at this school and bettered myself. I will never forget the terrible experience I had there. I was a good student, not a trouble maker and always loved going to school until I had a problem with students.

I attended this school in the 9th grade. I moved from Brooklyn, NY. This school was horrible. Athletically it was great but I didn't learn anything. It is so different from New York, it's not diverse. I couldnt understand some of my teachers and the people dressed weird. They also talked weird. This school is so small compared to where I came from.

I am currently a student at Gilmer High School and loving every minute of it. The school trys to focus one-on-one but sometimes can't due to the large number of enrollment. I moved here in the 4th grade and I have had a better time than I would have in the other school. I know that my kids will attend Gilmer High School k-12 grades.

I was a exchange student in Gilmer high school in 1999 and I had the best time I've ever had at school. It was so much different from the french because this school cheers you up, it makes you progress at everything you're pretty good at and then once you're out of it you realize how good it was and you want to go back a few years backward. I wish everyone to live such an experience in such a school!
