Gregg Anderson Academy

I’m beyond disappointed in this school and administration. You would think that being in the neighborhood it’s in, it’d be one of the better ones. The teachers don’t communicate with parents. Teachers feel they can sign up and force students to do tasks that have nothing to do with learning. I’d love for the board members to investigate deeper into what’s going on with this school. The principal seems too busy or distracted to reach parents back. And when an issue is brought up, she would rather back up the teacher that’s causing the issue instead of addressing it and reporting it. So disappointed. Do not recommend this school.

I've had nothing but issues with their dismissal. Has to be the worst organization I've ever experienced, it's a complete joke. Kids wander off daily, and their excuse, "we just have so many children to release". Direct from a teacher I complained to. I told her my son had been walking to the other side of the school for 2 weeks because that's where I park. "It's the first time I catch it", so for 2 weeks he went unnoticed. 2Nd grade kid,smh, I've never complained about a school so much as I have with this one. Very disappointed,and my youngest just started kindergarten, already considering taking both to another school. With every issue I've had and complained to someone I've gotten no valid excuse,only apologies. I want the issue corrected, I'm tired of apologies. Other than their dismissal disasters,I guess they have somewhat of a bully problem. Both my sons have complained about other classmates pushing them or grabbing them. What is the point of raising my sons right and being respectful if they're going to be disrespected themselves? There's only so many times they can tell the teacher before I have to tell them to defend themselves, which is exactly what I've been telling them to do.It has been the worst school my boys have ever attended.

Great school! My kids have had really good teachers.

Such a great school. With great resources for students. I think it comes down to also have great principles. They are just so wonderful Mrs Conner and Ms Hofmann just really seem to care. They have great after school programs and I feel like the teachers really care. They also listen when parents have concerns. The only thing I wish they had was more guidance on drop offs and picks ups. When a staff member is out there making sure parents aren't parking in the pick up and drop off area and getting out when they aren't supposed to. It goes so smoothly. But when no one is there it becomes quite frustrating when parents decide to just not care and hold up the line so that can get a little hectic. Besides that best school in Westside school district. I know some will argue it's Gregg Anderson but I think Esperanza takes the cake.
