The school is easy to navigate for new students, and the teachers are kind and motivating. Although this school doesn’t build a great foundation for student’s futures, teachers make it easy to understand the topics they teach. Despite all positive feedback, there are problems regarding bullying. I’ve watched kids be humiliated and made fun of for their sense of humor, kids being discriminated for their sexual orientation, gender identity, and religion. I am a Buddhist and I’m scared to share this information watching how non christians are treated. Seriously, if you are sensitive, attend this school with caution. It’s not for the weak.

Excellent school! The atmosphere is friendly and caring. Teachers and principals go above and beyond to do what is best for kids! The school stays current and relative in such a changing world. I had all three of my children attend GES from K through 5th grade and they all had a wonderful experience.

On a side note: Denia Reese (Superintendent) is by far the most disrespecting and disregarding of any concern I had. I brought this issue to her attention after MANY OF YEARS fighting with IEP's and teachers. She did not reply to me & what we were experiencing for so long. She sent my email to the school principle ( I could have done that !!) I wanted to bring this issue to higher authority not only for myself and child but, any others that may be in our shoes and hopefully make it easier road for them. However, the end result the teachers (for some) are trying to accommodate for the need (now, some did in the past but, wasn't on the right path, if so he may have done better then instead of now). So, do not bother wasting your time about your issue to the highest representative for Catoosa County because it is not her concern. Proven Fact.
