2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience with the school has been excellent at distinct levels. I rate this school high in safety and teaching. The teachers are dedicated and caring.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a current 8th Grade student in this school, I love it. The style of schooling might not be for everyone but I really enjoy it. I've been here since kindergarten and loved everything from elementary to middle school. I'm mostly leaving this review as I've noticed some very negative reviews from years back when middle school was just developing. Now though the middle school is great with tons of amazing teachers. This school isn't for everybody but I would definitely recommend at least checking it out.Student Review1y ago - George Washington Community High School (9-12)

1/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has several bright points and also many challenges. I think the school does a really good job with providing a quality place to learn; many awesome teachers, some not as great, that's the way it would go at any school. The principal cares about the students and, in my experience, so do the teachers. Maybe it's not a 5/5, but it's also not a 1, so I want to balance it out.Other Review11mo ago - Rousseau McClellan School 91

"Lots of people litter and there's broken glass everywhere, even on the sidewalks. The garbage men don't even get out of the truck so if they drop trash, it stays on the street."

"It’s awesome. There are many kids in this area, however there are so many different schools, that many of the kids do not interact with each other due to going to different schools. For example there are several kids on our street however none of them know each other because they all go to separate schools. Unlike many neighborhoods where there is one school for the area, and all the kids on the street are familiar with each other.However we love it here and there are many wonderful families and children in this area. Very family-friendly."

"There are a few great parks in the neighborhood as well as an ice cream shop, cupcakes, pizza, a hoagie shop, brewery, coffee, pastries, a pharmacy, groceries, and a few hardware stores within a 5 minute radius. The crime rate still leaves much to be desired, but the community is great and we are working together to improve this neighborhood!"
