I could not imagine a better school for my children to be attending. GMS was rebuilt a couple of years ago and currently provides children with a beautiful, state of the art facility to learn in. The tthe standards are set very high at this school which allows the children to reach their full potential and be adequately prepared for high school. The teachers are great with the kids and go out of their way to ensure that everyone is doing well and keeping up with the class. In addition to this, for students that are having a hard time they have several programs aimed at helping your student in the best way possible. I saw my daughter struggling and was doing my best at home to correct this, but before I even brought it up they were in contact with me to find the best possible solution. Couldn't ask for a better group of people to aid her in catching up to where she needs to be.

Groves Elementary is awful. My child's teacher is very polite and very well-educated, but it seems her hands are tied as she does not have the support she needs from Groves leadership. The Principal is so concerned with how the school rates overall that she refuses to repair issues at the core. She would rather report the symptoms of an issue to the parent and not validate the parent's concern and willingness to address the issue once its reported. Aside from the teacher, I dread having to interface with any of the staff at this institution. They are rude, belittling, judgemental, unapologetic and intimidating. My child is bullied here and the staff ignores it. The staff bullies me, too. It makes me sick.

No student left behind? But students are left behind. Just passing them on without regard for their future is leaving them behind. These kids are not proficiently prepped for college or the workforce. If you are lower income, any racial group other than white, or have a child with disabilities your child is being left behind. They will not prioritize your child or their future at PNGHS.

My daughter went to this school for all of Kindergarten and 8 weeks of 1st grade. Let's hope you never have to withdraw a kid from this school because they don't give you all the paperwork for you to enroll them into their next school and they take all the school supplies you send with your kid the first day of school. I paid over 100 dollars in school supplies for my child just for them to take every bit of it when I took her out.
