The teachers are nice and respectful in my experience. The students, however, are not the most respectful. There are many fights. Like, a lot of fights. Students also have a problem with recording or photographing other students without permission. The people at the front office, as of the time I am writing this, are not very respectful. They refuse to use student's proper names, even when parents and said student ask them too. The teachers are good about it though.

The teachers are great!. GHS is highly accredited due to the teachers. Administration has been lax with discipline. Some of the students are making it hard for the other students to learn. These students are making it very difficult for the teacher to teach. GHS is going to find it self in trouble if they do not step up and deal with this. If teachers start leaving then say goodbye to the A rating the school has enjoyed these last few years.

My son participated in the ESE program at Talbot Elementary for Pre-K and Kindergarten. Overall, we were VERY pleased with the experience. Even though my son was a young student, all of the staff and teachers knew him very well, and they were incredibly supportive of his needs. Dr. Beland is an OUTSTANDING principal - and I say this not only as a parent, but in my estimation as an educator as well. He is open-minded and promotes an inclusive environment where all feel welcome and valued. During our time at Talbot, Dr. Beland went above and beyond to personally ensure that my son was always safe and well-supported in his environment. As a result, Talbot was truly a place of comfort and safety for my son, and he blossomed socially and academically there. He developed such a deep passion for school and learning that he would literally RUN to school every morning...which is one of the best feeling any parent can have! This was especially important since my son had limited verbal communication to tell me what his experience was, but his actions spoke very loud and clear. Gainesville has limited ESE resources, but I was truly blessed to have an amazing team at Talbot. I cannot recommend this school enough, especially the ESE program.
