This school has some of the worst teachers - specifically in computer science, computer science principles, physics, English. These teachers that demotivate kids, ding their scores for trivial things ultimately lowering GPAs of kids aspiring for good colleges. This school rankings are high due to students efforts despite such teachers.

Teachers are fantastic but the new principal is the absolute worst. Takes all the joy out of the day. Almost as if she was never a child or ever experienced fun. Just an angry miserable human.

I have 3 kids attending this school with one matriculating (to middle school) already. Gunstream is highly multiracial (and has always been) with students from very diverse backgrounds and cultures (many moving directly to the US from Turkey, Korea, India, Russia as an example). As a very highly active parent at this school for many years, I can say this group of administrators and teachers do put in a lot of time and effort into the students to ensure each student has an appropriate level of academic rigor as well as the appropriate level of support. I can say I know all of my students primary teachers very well as well as many of the supporting speech and dyslexia teachers and have a substantial amount of respect for the work they perform (e.g. Read a Dyslexia AARD Report, just WOW!). I am very proud that my children can grow up with students from vastly different cultures, first languages, religions and belief systems. There are local schools that are vastly different in terms of racial makeup (predominantly one race or another) which would not give them this experience so early in life. I also want to shout out to Principal Smolka who is retiring at the end of this year after 20+ years (since the beginning) at Gunstream. We will miss you so much! Also another shout out to Ms. Hay who retired recently but still substitutes regularly. You are an absolute blessing and an amazing person!
