Disappointing. The administration feels more authoritarian than collaborative. Classes are overcrowded, especially gifted and some regular ones. People have raised concerns that some students are placed in gifted classes because of parent–administration connections, even if they’re not officially id
Posted by a parent on 4/3/2026Wonderful teachers, fun activities, parents highly involved and strong academics. But, if your child struggles and needs additional support, this is not the school for you. The academic pressure is real!!. Office staff are wonderful, however the administration can appear to be friendly but once you
Posted by a parent on 3/10/2026George Washington Carver Elementary has been an amazing school for my son and our family. From the moment he walks through the doors, he feels safe, supported, and genuinely excited to learn. The teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly go above and beyond to make sure each student feels seen and e
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2026Our family has had a wonderful experience at this school. My daughter graduated last year, and I currently still have two children enrolled, which speaks volumes about how much we value this community.

Posted by a parent on 1/29/2026This elementary school truly feels like a second home. It is a small, close-knit community where everyone knows one another, and students are supported both academically and emotionally.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a current teacher and Alumni of CGHS, this is, without a doubt, the worst school I have ever taught and studied at. The primary factor for this is the teachers, especially Diana Van-Wyk. She is the "IB Coordinator" of the school, who demonstrates clear favoritism, laziness, apathy, and sexism. As a counsellor and coordinator of such a prestige program such as the IB, I would expect her to care for her students and support them fully through their academic journey, as would most people. However, since she has joined this school years ago, I have seen a noticeable decline in student mental health, overall happiness, and communication with teachers. This is what inspired me to become a teacher, so I could be everything she isn't. Furthermore, I have received multiple student complaints about her, and her failure of communication as well as her stubbornness. I don't think she understands that the students she deals with are socially maturer than most, perhaps indicating why she refuses to admit she's wrong. It is in the best interest of the school to remove her as a faculty.Teacher Review3mo ago - St. Stephen's Episcopal Day School
