Gloucester High School

Posted: June 11, 2025

GHS is a school riddled with problems. Many teachers aren't sufficiently knowledgeable in the subjects they teach. Teachers are often rude and defensive when questioned. The administration is weak, disengaged and inept. There are no standard procedures for instruction, or the assignment and grading of student work. There is a culture of complacency. This is not a high school that nurtures intelligent students or prepares them for college. Sadly it is the only choice for Gloucester residents.

Some of the teachers there are rude, underpaid, and ugly towards other students. It is way too crowded even with four lunches. They made it look like an asylum by covering all of the color on the walls with white paint. The food there is unhealthy, eating high fructose corn syrup at 7:00 am isn't what I would call a healthy breakfast, lunch is even worse. Doing the same lunches over and over, people can get tired of it, they need to do something new and healthier. On top of that, there are many problems with instruction workers causing fires, and putting the school into lockdown. If it were ever up to me, I would deem it unsafe for any of the other students that go there. The bathrooms are always dirty, custodians that work there are either in their seventies or just shouldn't be walking around at all. Their budget is way too small, often cheaping out on things that are desperately needed. They closed off the senior cafe for no reason, making the lunch room smaller, and more crowded. We need more natural lighting in classrooms, there are too many LEDs, that are often causing some people problems with staying in school for the whole day. Lastly, the teachers have absolutely ZERO discipline, often putting students concerns to the side instead of taking it seriously. Do better GHS!

I want to love this high school. We went out of our way to move to this district, but some of the staff are not helpful. Complaints are swept under the rug. Counselors don't listen to the parents or students at all, at least the one assigned to us. Some students are given preferential treatment. When ever you address any concern you are treated as if you are the problem regardless of how polite you are. Staff generally just seemed bothered if you call or stop by,

To be fair, they are really great at communicating through pre-recorded messages should anything be happening at the school and the Principal seems very nice for the most part. They do have a lot to offer in terms of spirit weeks, pep rallies, fun things to motivate the kids, and sports teams. Transportation has been good and I feel safe sending my student on the busses.

I graduated from this school and now have children who attend. I left Gloucester due to the military and came back because of the strong community. There was never any other choice for where I’d settle down. Pleased to have my own children graduate from here and call it home. Administration, teachers, and other faculty members care about the children in this county. It’s a wonderful place to live and grow up.

School is going downhill fast! It’s time to rethink staffing.

The varied Career and Technical programs available for the students are such a positive aspect of GHS. There is something for everyone.

Teachers telling students to look up videos to learn instead of teaching,not many good programs, TV production is a great class for students but really need a lot of help on acting and audio, need new coaches because Gloucester high has been losing for many of years. Just like for my kids to get a good education and be proud of where they graduated from.

Because alot wouldn't be going to night school and day kids in school failing. They have gave up on our students along time ago.

Posted: April 10, 2016

Because it's not to overwhelming but I think some of the students need some help after school in understanding their work.

Posted: April 10, 2016

Some do some don't because if they had this they wouldn't be failing in class and in activities.

There are too many students for the size of the building. It is the only high school in Gloucester County. The building desperately needs renovation.

Now upon graduation 2013, I can say that Gloucester High School was an incredible school for my son. The NJROTC program was far surpassing in excellence. The courses open to students to pursue careers right out of high school were varied and backed up with thorough instruction on campus or off. Those pursuing college were given constant options of dual credit earned while in high school. My summation would be - that if a student was serious about getting as much out of their education as possible ~ there were staff available to help them make their goals. The NJROTC program is excellent in guiding a student in structure, discipline and a great peer group of cadets helping other cadets even in academics when subjects might prove a difficult challenge. I thank Dr. Beverage for the great four years my student had as I'm sure as principal much was attributable to his steering the course of this academic ship. Thank you...
