I don't know it's a pretty chill school, can be miserable at times but that's more a me thing. It's a good school if you want your kids to go here, I suppose. But only let them go here if they're cool :)

The teachers overall are high quality and dedicated. Both the principal and assistant principal go a great job. They cannot always immediately meet the needs of all 1000 students, but who could? Big schools have more opportunities but they also have downsides.

Mrs. KENDRICK is seriously the best 1st grade teacher I have ever met. She truely loves and cares about her children! :)

Unless your child fits in the 80% of the bell curve you will not have a good experience in this school. Our child has emotional and social issues and the school has no clue how to handle it. Our child is not our biological child, she came to live with us 2 years ago with PTSD and complex trauma. Our child transferred to the GLCS system when she came to live with us and GLCS "missed" a 33 page IEP that was in place in her previous school, then they fought us tooth and nail to put another one in place that was clearly necessary. When we were finally able to discuss an IEP with the school leadership the principal came into the meeting and opened with "If you're not happy with what we put together, I've spoken with our superintendent and he's happy to sign a document to have her transferred to another school." I was stunned since we had never asked for open enrollment, we simply asked them to do their JOBS! That clearly sends the message that they are not willing to do anything extra to help a kid be successful in school.Our child has come home complaining about how mean her 3rd grade teacher is everyday of the school year. From all of our communications with the teacher she is very rigid and inflexible which is the opposite of what's required with children with PTSD and trauma. Our child has regressed in nearly all areas of social ability as a result. They refuse to move her to a classroom that we know would be a better learning environment for our child. She recently came home reporting a racist club on the playground that doesn't allow black kids to play in the group. This school clearly has washed their hands of our child. She's too difficult and in our opinion, they'd rather just not deal with the kids that require a different approach than the standard cookie cutter education.
