This school has a fairly supportive community; some of them try to strongarm staff for their kids if things do not go their way but most do good things for the school. It is sad that so many great teachers have left, the school has lost too many teachers in every department/grade and coaches/sponsors (three athletic directors in three years and three math teachers in one class in a year and both music teachers have changed over in the past year). Last year seventh grade had at least half of their teachers leave in the middle of the year. GCS can do better than this - we can make this school great again!

I love this school we have great teachers and staff. The teachers they work very close with the students. The staff are great and very helpful when I go inside the school for the rewards the kids get every Quarter!!!

My Uncle (1952), my aunt (1967) my mother (1977), both of my brothers (2001,2005) and myself (2011) graduated from this school, and I can attest that even my friend’s son (2026 graduating class) will say that this school is the bottom of the barrel for schools, THIS SCHOOL NEEDS AN ENTIRE MAKE OVER TOP TO BOTTOM. Save your money and send your kids to a Montessori, a private school, or better, preferably Wake County schools. They offer better support for families, parents, they offer better programs for the students, they listen to the students, and offer safe spaces away from harmful behaviors.
