We had two ids go through GHS and we had a great experience. I definitely recommend this school!

Where to begin.. let start with the Meet the teacher, we are new to the area and the first impression with the administration was not great, you could tell they weren't happy to be there, My 2nd graders Teacher is amazing, but the students are extremely mean and disrespectful I have lost count on how many times we have gotten messages about the student being disrespectful AND inappropriate comments and that we need to have a talk with our kids, we have even gotten messages about phone usage during class. When my 2nd grader never had issues before with making friends with anyone and now has a hard time making friends and coming home crying about the kids being mean and there's nothing that is really done. Then there is my 4th Grader... The 1st teacher we had she was rude and really didn't care what we had to say and was not welcoming, our son is Autistic and we needed to have more then a 2 second conversation with her and she really did not care what we had to say about him she was more worried about shoving papers in our face and going on to the next so right there we knew that there was going to be an issue. then not even a week or two into the school year my 4th grader had pooped himself (multiple student apparently) and with him being at a new school and with his autism he will not speak up and didn't know where to go, he did try and clean himself up but it was everywhere, it was clear on video that he not only pooped himself and its was down his leg ALL the other kids were complaining and NOT ONE STAFF MEMBER OR HIS OWN TEACHER did anything so he SAT in his own facies from just before lunch until after school when we got home we were obviously LIVID he was then transfer to another class and this teacher is amazing to him. But again there is issues with the bulling and disrespectful kids in his grade as well, we have had a lot of issues with him coming home and having major melt downs. With the whole absence thing they want your kids to have as much schooling (100% agree with it) but you can't get your child after 2 you have to wait for dismissal i'm sorry but if I want my child I will get my child, I do not care if its the rule they are my children not yours I will get MY children. The office staff are extremely rude every time we've come into contact with them, they are clearly miserable and hate their jobs. Next year IF we are still in the same neighborhood I will be homeschooling. There is so much more I can say but I have reached my limit of words.

Both our kids attended Forbes and we had a very good experience. Our kids were engaged and felt safe. The teaching was effective and the learning environment positive.
