Here's an honest in depth review; some people will say they like it here but those are either premature reviews of current students or students that were well liked by teachers. If you're just trying to get your hs diploma and are not into the programs (Special needs, PEI, tech, hockey...), I strongly DO NOT recommend going with Garneau as your high school. There are many other Francophone high school that are way better (and I would even go as far as to say avoid the French Catholic school board all together). They call it a Catholic school but all it is really is 2 half religion courses in grade 7-8 and 1 mandatory credit that must be acquired from ANY religion course (I took world religion) in grade 10 or 11. I believe where they lost the students was with their daily prayer that lasted either 30s or a whole 3-4 minutes and forcing students to attend church which happened for every holiday (Thanksgiving, rememberance day, Christmas, Easter, and the odd additional time). I believe that the environment is extremely toxic given most "good" teachers tend to leave after a few years, leaving students with the teachers that poorly connect with them and ultimately make school miserable. The toxicity of the teachers and administration staff will rain down from top to bottom to the point where it will even change the students behaviours. I personally met with some Garneau graduates that were (at the time) very difficult to get along with (bullies, introverts, douches...) and almost all of them changed drastically and were actually easy to get along with. The students reflect behaviours based on the environment they're put in. Most extra curricular activities sucked. The good ones get disbanded for different reasons (person running it left, underfunded, lack of interest...) and the ones that remained are all pretty much all runned by the same people and participants are also nearly the same! They have no regard for those who struggle in school whether it's with attendance, grades, attitude, or anything personal. Their solutions is just stick all the students who have similar problems together thinking every case is the same. It's like everyone is stuck in a constant loop, so you best hope you're lucky. They make no effort in trying to keep students motivated, they're solutions for that, discipline (detentions, phone calls home, suspension, principal meetings..) rather than; reducing the workload, providing additional help outside of class, encouragement, and in-class involvement for the struggling students level to avoid isolation (which happens more often than people think). Let's say you struggle in a class, naturally you would want to get help, you can't go to the teachers after class since most leave shortly after school finishes. Your only other option, going to a classroom where you can get help after 2:15pm, it's also the same place you'd go for detention. So why would you want to be associated with detention when you're only trying to get help. To make matters worse there's 20 students there and 1 teacher who can help that's present. Oh and if that's not bad enough they have these huge windows by a busy hallway so everyone walking by can see that you're in "detention" but really you're just trying to get help. I personally had to get 2-3 tutors over the course of my time at Garneau, thankfully my parents were able to fund them. Imagine those who can't, how hard it must be. To conclude, I strongly advise looking into all of the other francophone (maybe even anglophone) schools in Orleans and evaluating the pros and cons before choosing this one, because the cons heavily outweigh the pros. Garneau should only be your last resort.

All 3 of my siblings and I went to this school, and it seems that with every generation they find a way to get worse. The teachers and faculty are rigid, non-understanding, and traditionalist. All this school seems to care about is their reputation, student statistics, and money. If you’re not a top student, rich, or extremely talented, good luck getting any kind of support. Only reason I give it two stars is because there are some teachers that stand out from the monotonous atmosphere this school creates. If you want to go to a school with a shred of personality, creativity, or sense of discovery, I’d recommend anywhere else. Hopefully, with time and a change of school ideologies things will change.

Great School, the teachers are generally friendly and personable with the students and the classes are challenging but not impossible. The building itself is quite dated and the bathrooms are notoriously not well kept. All around modern classrooms and great teachers get Garneau the 4 star review.

Cette école ne respecte pas ses propes règles, ils disent qu'on peux seulement parler en français dans l'école mais il y a des cris d'arable qui parle la langue des sables. J'ai rien appris du tout, ils m'ont faite échouer m'a 7ème année et maintenant je joue a Fortnite de façons competitive.

Could you please ask the lunch monitors to make the student clean up all their litter and garbage please. It is always an absolute mess in the school yard and the sad thing is that the mess is just metres from the garbage can. It really is disgusting!

Garneau sucks. Don’t go there if you can avoid it at all cost. Teachers are racist and pick favouritism. Would do anything for them to pass but for the rest, they won’t. The teachers were also bullies.

Great school, teacher are nice and not racist, the outside coolers are a bit wired but all around good choice for your education

Great School back when I went 04-08 some really great profs overall couldn't ask for a better high school.

It is a different building for sure. It has a football, soccer and baseball fields #localguide

Teachers seem to pick favorites and bend the rules at their discretion.

The teachers have a wonderful way of explaining things to student

I got jumped by garden gnomes. Highly recommend this school.

This school is bad but one thing is fine: the summer break

Noice school tbh. Pretty ugly on the outside though
