Golden is an excellent school. I have 2 children that attend the school and they both have good teachers and enjoy being at the school. I also feel Golden has stronger emphasis on academics than other schools that my children has previously attended. My only complaint is the class size for the 4th

Golden is a wonderful neighborhood school.The new principal has shown great interest in the well-being and academic success of the students. The posting from 9/7/07 (the 3rd day of school) doesn't make sense. The same numbers of adult supervisors are present on both playgrounds during the morning recess

Golden School has been fabulous up until the 6th grade. At this point the school becomes entirely focused on the GATE program. There are no normal 6th grades for those children not in GATE.
