Open Quote I have had two children attend Gadsden City High. They both received an excellent education, taking advantage of their large number of A.P. Classes, giving them a leg up preparing for college. Both participated in their excellent band program. My wife and I could not have been happier with GCHS! Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio
Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
