La escuela tiene serios problemas de violencia entre alumnos! Es una situación muy triste!

We are new to Garden Place this year and their Montessori system but could not be happier with our decision to enroll our son in the ECE program. We have found his teachers and school faculty in general to be very welcoming and involved with his learning process on a day-to-day basis, providing plenty of feedback and as much attention as he needs. I am confident that he would not have matured and prospered as much in his first year of formal schooling if he was in a different or traditional pre-school setting. I am encouraged that having Montessori in a public school will be a good balance of independent learning principles set to the standards and core expectations of traditional schooling. I love the diversity and urban setting of the community school with the city as a backdrop. We look forward to keeping our son enrolled there and hopefully have his younger sister there in a couple years as well.

This school was horrible, they split the stairwells by grade, so the seventh grade students had to go ask the way to one side of the school whenever they needed to go to another floor, so that whole year i had to cross the whole school, go up two floors and cross again. Not to mention i was expected to do this in three minutes. Additionally, if you are late to 2 or more classes in a day, you have to spend an hour after school in detention. I only got out of this once i threatened to break my own arm. Additionally one time they made half of the students wait outside during the first half of lunch, in the freezing cold. Fortunately they stopped doing that after about a week. Additionally i was almost stabbed by a pencil twice while i was there, and got a sir thrown at me. The staff of course did nothing to prevent that from happening again. Also, they put me in a special ed class first period in 8th grade because of my poor social life, instead of stopping the bullies. While i was there they made us assemble things for fundraisers, and make and sell coffee to the teachers. There was no option not to. Those poor kids didn’t even know there was something wrong with that. I attended from 2022-2025, very recently, and my younger sister still attends it. If any parents are considering enrolling their kids in this school, please don’t. I promise you there are better options out there.

I am grateful to have Manual as my daughter's graduating school. The staff is utmost dedicated and caring and often bent over backwards to help my daughter become a better student. Many of the students come from low-income, disadvantaged homes, including our own, and Manual did everything it could to help my daughter succeed. We felt part of a community. She is now attending college.
