6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOne silver lining of the pandemic for me, has been that I get to help supervise my grandson's remote learning. Initially, it was all remote learning, and now it is the hybrid model where he is in school 2 days a week and the other 3 days are remote. As a retired teacher, I can appreciate the amount of time, effort and preparation it takes to effectively engage and teach students in the hybrid environment. The teacher is very professional, energetic and positive. She also does an excellent job of communicating with parents. I am amazed at the strides my grandson has made in reading over the course of the year. The same is true for math where he is working at a much higher level than I would've expected. I am also impressed that his teacher incorporates interesting science lessons into the curriculum. Science is often overlooked in this type of situation, but in an era of pandemics and climate change, introducing students to science at an early age is timely and important. My grandson has had a very positive experience at Gray in this most unusual of years, and I would highly recommend it.Parent Review3y ago - Schurz High School
