Midtown

In 2003 this was an excellent school under principal Yolanda Jordan. It is currently closed down due to low enrollment since 2009

Probably the biggest waste of time and money i have ever spent on private education to further my sons academic development...this is a sad institution that is not accredited but lied and said they were. If there are problems with a child's learning ability you won't hear about it. This is basically a K-2 overpriced daycare. I don't speak on behalf of all parents but this is my personal experience. After the new management took over and Covid outbreak the education was totally discarded.

i’m an 8th grader at gsl, and the experience has been something to say the least. i would say absolutely no one wants to learn anything they’re being taught. most teachers are very sweet and want to teach, but some really just don’t want to be there. some teachers really could care less. gsl tends to keep the worst teachers and fire the best teachers. last year we had a teacher that made us want to learn. gsl fired him for talking to us like we were teenagers instead of 3 year olds. being a student with extreme mental health issues, gsl has not been helpful at all. they’ve sent me home instead of helping me process my emotions. gsl only deals with mentally ill students when it comes between school work. homework is piled and piled, i know i seem like a teenager whining, but i have had to stay up until 3 am to finish a 15 page homework packet due the day after we got it, and i still had more homework. special education. where do i start with this. from what i’ve seen, gsl does not care. gsl turns away children with special needs, this year gsl had a special needs kid TURNED AWAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE YEAR just because they did not want to deal with him. gsl does nothing to help kids with special needs. one boy in my grade is almost blind due to a condition he has and gsl constantly overlooks this by refusing to have him move closer to the board and things similar to that. gsl is safe yes. kids do make empty threats as a joke to “burn down the school” and things similar to that. i witnessed a sobbing girl get called a school shooter just because she was stressed. kids at gsl will say racist, homophobic, sexist, and just the most disgusting “jokes” to people. and gsl does nothing. i’ve been bullied for years and i’ve seen others get bullied and gsl have done nothing. bullying at gsl is so common. i want to say i’d recommend gsl, but the absolute pain and frustration gsl has caused my family is preventing me from doing so.

It is very sad to see one of the major fibers of the Catholic Community close its doors after years of quality education and the ability to educate children of the values of the catholic faith. With the continuing closings of catholic schools, we loose more spiritual contacts with our future generations of Catholic worshipers and clergy. I hope the Diocese will begin a new revival in bringing our schools back to life!
