Galway ES always has fun parent involvement nights and opportunities for the community to come and engage which I really appreciate. The PTA is strong and holds creative meetings to build up support for both teachers and the students. The principal is very strong in her role and is always visible and she’s and knowledgeable. I love this school, my son is in 4th and next year his brother will join for K and hoping he has a great experience too. They have the enrichment program for students with high test scores and grades, and STEM fairs, different clubs to join too. My son reads to the K-2 classes (roaring readers which gets the young students excited to learn by seeing the older students visit and read to them). They also have the minority scholars program where students discuss important issues of race and equity, and discuss how to create change in the community, which gives leadership responsibility to the students involved. It’s a great school. Very impressed with what all they do throughout the school year.

My daughter has been at Greencastle since kindergarten and she’s now in 3rd grade. The school has definitely improved since she’s been there. Mrs.Dean and Mrs.Hernandez are a strong admin team! & the teachers are truly wonderful and what make the school great. My daughter has always had remarkable, caring teachers and also worked with a strong resource team who are extremely dedicated. My daughter also enjoys the friendships she’s made.

So far, my experience in this school is fantastic. I feel very safe, and almost nobody bullies another person. And if they do, they always get punished. The teachers are great, even if they are strict. Honestly, a lot of kids just don't like doing work here which is why is doing not so well, but for the most part, it is wonderful.

Administration/front desk are so rude! They talk so bad to parents they look like they are tired and not like their job

Great staff which exhibits great effort everyday! You can always see teachers going above and beyond here to help your child at this school. I have NO idea why there are not better ratings for this school. Though I do realize we live in a world of inhumane individuals who prejudge based on "Demographics", don't let ratings and reviews fool you. This is a great place for kids, good area and bustling out the seams with excellent care & support for kids and parents. I took my son out of a higher-rated school because they had difficulties and haven't been happier!
