Galax is not a great school. Most of the students do not behave at all and are mean to the teachers and the teachers won't do anything about it. Many of the teachers will tell you what to study for a test or quiz and the quiz will be completely different than what they gave you to study. Some teachers do this all the time and the students will fail their quiz and they will wonder why. The school has some very good teachers that teach very well, others not so much. The students are the worst part. There is a lot of racism that for on here at Galax and nothing is done about it.

I'm a graduate of Galax High School and I am SO glad I chose Galax over other schools in the area. The administration and staff clearly push the kids to a higher level of achievement. Other schools tend to set low expectations for the students, but Galax always sets high expectations as far as academics and college admittance. Through the AP classes and dual enrollment, I was able to enter college with enough credits to be considered a sophomore! The other schools simply don't push as hard as Galax, and it shows in the SOL scores. Galax is great and I would definitely send my kids there to properly prepare them for college.
