7 Benjamin Run, Landenberg, PA 19350

If you consider allowing boys in girls bathrooms and locker rooms while your daughter changes for gym class a win then this is your school district. They also have a rainbow club that isn’t posted on their website led by a teacher and meets during school hours that does not require parent consent to join.

If you have a child with special needs (including ADHD, Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, Developmentally Delayed, etc.), look elsewhere. The school is completely understaffed to support the high number of special needs students in this school, despite it only being a K-1 school. Your IEP will not be followed, and you will receive no updates about your child's progress on a regular basis. Furthermore, the majority of the staff, to include the classroom assistants and lunch monitors, are not trained in working with special needs kids, going as far as calling children "rude," "bad," "irresponsible," etc. Staff often voice their political views to children, which is completely inappropriate in this setting. If you raise an issue or concern, you will be told "they'll look into it" and never get a solution unless you raise your concerns to the Principal or Vice Principal. Bullies are protected instead of dealt with, with the child who is being bullied being gaslighted (by being told they aren't being bullied) or told they are "too sensitive." Some teachers are great; others are clearly only there for a paycheck. No monitors on the bus, so older kids from the Intermediate School often pick on the younger children. Children are not allowed to talk during lunch and are reprimanded if they do. As an AGSD alumni and long-term member of the community, it is heartbreaking to see how far this district has fallen.
