Let's u be part of the family. Garfield has soo much potential and good students. They offer so many things.Don't let a few kids get to u. Oh and u should definitely join student council :)!!!

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs somebody who attends this school, this is by far one of the worst schools ive been to, there is to many fights way to much bullying and the teachers and principal just don't care, I have always enjoyed going to school, but not this one though, I recommend that you don't send your kid here, believe me you will regret it, at my first year in this school I was already being picked on and it was always so hard to concentrate on my work and it really effected my grades, ao far since i've been there 10 kids left and im about to be one of them I cannot stand it anymore, kids were going around stabbing other kids with pencils and making tiktoks about it, every single morning we have to walk through a metal detector to make sure nobody is carrying weapons, it's just crazy....Please I beg you, DO NOT SEND YOUR KID HERE!!!Student Review3y ago
