What Parents Should Know

At 9.1:1 students to teachers, Gettysburg High School - 01 sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.
Gettysburg High School - 01 sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.
