"Gordon Tech High School is a beautiful example of a high quality curriculum, outstanding opportunities in sports, heart, diversity that works, teachers that give more than 100 percent, and a community that helps young people grow into fine adults. I am so happy my children are here!"

"I used to go to this school. The classes are ok, but some teachers don't clearly explain things and are overly sarcastic. The "school spirit" here is played out, they expect you to be "peppy". The pep rally's stink. The interior school looks like prison and the lockers are extremely small. The library is decent and you can get work there easily. The students there are somewhat welcoming but socially things get around quickly. The lunch is ok, but overpriced. There aren't a lot of after-schools programs and the electives are horrible. Teachers/Faculty give demerits constantly for stupid things. The uniforms policy is strict and you really don't get a sense of freedom or to express yourself, you look and feel like a "nub". The sports they offer are basic, but other schools in the area offer more sports/electives that are top-notch. Don't go here, it's not worth the money."

"I am a '63 graduate of this school. I can't speak on how good it is now., but I can say that if I had not gone to GT, I would not have turned out the way I did. I and 4 others attended Purdue in engineering and all 5 graduated. I can't even count the number that went to U of I at Champaigne and graduated in engineering. One of my class mates is a math prof at Ohio State. I went on to law school and at 62 am still having a great career as a patent lawyer. I was not the best student at GT but the teachers and the atmosphere gave me confidence and purpose. So a belated--Thank youto GT."

"Gordon Tech is an excellent co-ed high school where a parent can rest at ease knowing that his/her child is getting a top notch education as well as the oppurtunity to participate in many sports, clubs, and activites! GT is currently working on taking their sports teams to the next level! For those who have girls with a passion for volleyball, GT just hired a new girl's volleyball coach who also coaches for the travel team- Ace Point Match! The teachers, coaches, and staff are wonderful people who truly care about each individual student! Because GT is a smaller school, you definitely feel that sense of family when you walk down the hallways or attend one of the many home games taking place in GT's gym- Home of the RAMS!! Now, with a new and improved front office staff for the 2010-2011 school year-GT's back on the rise!"

"I truly hate this school ever since freshman year. If I have to explain about this school in one word it will be 'depressing'. The reason why I say that, is because: They have a very strict dress code policy. This school is dull and plain. Crappy after school programs. You can meet the ghetto-est students there. Pay like $9000 a year so some teachers can slack off. Over expensive lunch. Pep rally is a complete joke. They force you to take religion classes. They give detention so much for stupid little things, such as wearing orange undershirt. It feels like a prison, there's no freedom at all. There's no interesting people. Basically there's nothing fun about this school. I know I look like I'm complaining, but I'm not. I'm just telling you folks the facts about this school because this is what I experience. Don't be fool thinking this is a good school because it's small. It's not!"
