Most teachers don't teach. They test. AI will rapidly replace them and do a better job.

My son had such an amazing experience at this school. He was in the IB program and all of his teachers were amazing. The principal and administrators build a personal relationship with parents and students. Many sports teams are available to students without tryouts so they are very inclusive. The students are diverse and the facilities are amazing. Great chem lab, full woodworking studio, and photography lab. Tons of clubs, and activities. My son made great friends and thrived there.

Garfield is a school that has gone through a major overhaul in all aspects since its reinstatement into the Redwood City School District in 2010. Very skilled leadership and teachers were brought in to address the necessities of the school. Teachers work tirelessly to make sure that students are safe and learning at high levels in Language Arts, Math, Science, and social emotional well being. Additionally, teachers and staff have gone through training to address the emotional needs of students so that students are able to navigate and cope with their own emotions. Moreover, the family resources are above and beyond what is offered at other schools with a highly trained mental health team and additional community partners that offer food and produce, family counseling, and parent trainings to help improve the overall family dynamic outside of the classroom. Garfield has had a difficult history and reputation to overcome but it has made leaps and bounds with the leadership and teachers that are in place right now!
