My son attended Kindergarten at George Washington in 2008-2009. Our experience there was terrible. The administration was unresponsive or unable to address any of our concerns. The curriculum was far behind the neighboring districts. I met some very caring teachers but the overall environment was negative.

I have two children that attended this school(2003-04) school year. The experience that my children and myself received from this school was shocking for my whole family. The year was an absolute disaster from the beginning to the end. The best part about this school was Mrs. Buckie the school secretary.
... Read more My children were tormented, sexually harassed, ridiculed(for being smart), and they never felt safe. We had just moved into the area, love our house, and now we are going to move because we can't have another year like we had this last year.The worst experience from a school in all of our lives. I would never recommend this school to anyone, esp. small children trying to succeed at an early age. Read less
