I'm generally familiar with this school and its treatment of guest teachers. I believe that guest teachers are already at a disadvantage walking into an unfamiliar school to ensure learning keeps happening without some teachers making this more difficult. This happens at GGES more often than not. Having spent over ten years managing classrooms and raising my own four children from birth to adulthood, I feel I have learned how to effectively communicate, how to engage children positively and constructively and how to reward students and encourage them to grow and flourish. I love being in the classroom interacting with students in a fun, dynamic and rigorous academic setting. Unfortunately, some teachers have a preconceived and negative view of guest teachers... sometimes it is subtle, sometimes not. I don't feel comfortable returning to this school because both the general and sometimes specific treatment I have received from teachers and staff at GGES leaves me with the impression that I am both unwelcome and unsuitable for this school. That saddens me, but I am going to continue performing in an exemplary fashion and striving to demonstrate excellence at other schools -- schools that recognize and appreciate the value we (I) provide as guest teachers who genuinely love this job.

The lady at the front desk, Alicia, is so incredibly rude every time I talk with her. If you hate your job that much then maybe find a new profession. She has always had an attitude from day 1!

i’m a student in 7th rn and it is SO buns, racial slurs fly around rent free, teachers don’t even do anything about fights, the teachers say they’re one of the best schools in jeffco but there were at least 20 fight in the span of two months last year. the food isn’t worth eating so i starve myself til dinner and the good food costs money. some of the teachers are great such as mr smartt, mrs ortiz and mr wiebe but those are the only good ones, they give you grades late and one of my teachers marked half of my stuff missing even though it was done and at school. they banned phones and don’t have anything for you to do for a straight 15 min at recess, i’d rather call it sitting around than recess. people are totally two faced too like a girl i met was so kind to me once and then she was mean to everyone else. the curriculum is so boring and warm ups genuinely make me wanna switch schools, i would never recommend this school to my worst enemyi would rate it 0 but im forced to one star.
