The overall experience at Gause Elementary was not a positive one. The environment for my child was not ideal which was starting to effect him emotionally, to the point of him begging to stay home most mornings. A supportive environment is crucial for a child's success and Gause wasn't able to provide that for our son, who at times struggles to focus. The teacher and principal seemed to focus solely on his weaknesses during parent/teacher conferences with very minimal discussion of strengths, which left us feeling discouraged and frustrated. I could not put my child through another year there so we requested a boundary exception to another school, where he is actually thriving and likes to go to school. The new school has great teachers and a principal that actually care and give great support.
