I hated it the first time I walked inside of that school

Bullies are abundant at this school.My child attends this miserable school.Every week my child gets called gay,weird,stupid,lame,ugly and has even been told that he/she would be shot and killed.when my child tries to befriend someone my child gets laughed at.My child has had the same bully taunt him for almost 2 years.If you complain you will be retailated against so expect it.It is so sad that we as parents put up with our children being treated this way.we are now considering homeschooling so that we can make sure our child is raised with proper morals and values.Bullies are part of life we all know that.but No child should have to go to school and be treated this way.

My children have been attending this school for the past 5 years. Some years have been great, while others have been a little rough. I believe their experience largely depends on who their teacher is. Some teachers are very involved, while others have poor communication. Mrs. Mitchell was my older daughter's teacher last year, and she absolutely loved her. She excelled with her, and it was the first time I had ever seen her get excited about school work and feel confident and prepared to take tests.My younger daughter is enrolled in the French Immersion program, and I highly recommend it. It's amazing to hear her speak fluently with her teacher, and I believe the program has accelerated her learning ability. In first grade, she was reading at an almost fourth-grade level.Overall, we have enjoyed our time at Gillis. I will be sad when they move on to another school.
