The entire student body, from k through 8th grade, is well behaved and respectful, not only of the adults, but again, of the other students. Gscs likes to say it provides a 'safe' environment - but i think it goes far beyond that. They have high expectations for student behavior, and as a result, that is what they get: a great school.
