Senseny Heights

Great place to send my child! Wonderful staff who cares. We love it here and are so thankful for the education they provide.

My students attended this school for one year before i transferred them. The teachers were honestly great. They always helped guide my students and were very communicative and truly cared about my kids. The principal and VP were awful. They questioned students in a condescending way. They judged the students. They talked badly about the students to other staff and even kids. They made issues worse instead of helping or guiding. Suspension was their number one go to. No other option in their eyes. A substitute they hired inappropriately put their hands on my child and the principal said “we are so short staffed I cannot reprimand her” as if my child’s safety did not come first. Terrible. So glad to be out!!!

I worked at GMES from 2015-2019, and overall, was incredibly disappointed, particularly under Jennifer Muldowney's leadership. GMES staff displayed open distain for students at lower socioeconomic schools, and I witnessed this at staff meetings. One particular incident was the staff joking about a school doing well testing that, in their jokes, they pointed out don't have the resources to do well. Not only was it a drawn out joke among several of the staff that stopped the meeting so everyone could participate and laugh, but it wasn't addressed for what it was: tactless and devoid of empathy for the students and the staff with so few resources they found so funny. Muldowney operated as if she was in high school, and was wildly disheartening to work for. There are bright spots, such as the Resource Team, and the students are a joy. The attitude and actions displayed by the staff was wholly disappointing, and I hope in 2026 that type of nonsense has come to an abrupt halt and educators don't allow one another to be so childish.
