i am a student at Galt High School and i have found it to be extremely hard to work with some teachers.

Our daughter is a sophomore here and so far we have had mixed experiences with Galt H.S. Some of her teachers have worked hard to motivate her, but others have not been as effective in the classroom with diverse students' needs.

Galt High is a great school in that there is less violece than most. However Galt High School is ranked well below basic, I believe that most teachers should not be at fault for this.
