This school is terrible. You have annoying kids saying "67!" all the time and "I'M TALM BOUT INNIT!" Also, why do we have to stay there until 3:37? Do you know how long that is? We can't have our phones out, which is stupid; we can't have our backpacks in the lunch line, such a stupid rule. I don't
Posted by a student on 9/12/2025To say that bullying is rampant in this school is a major understatement. When a parent finds out about the things that have been said to your child and it makes your heart break and you want to cry, you want to immediately march down to the school to have a heart-to-heart talk with the principal an
Posted by a parent on 8/3/2021Good I like ft. Clarke it is good
Posted by a student on 1/26/2019We transferred here - this review is based on the absolute apparent unorganization... starting from registration to the evidence of less than helpful or welcoming administration/staff. Hopeful for improvement - but proving to be an interesting start - not encouraging when a child comes home in tears
Posted by a parent on 8/15/2016I am upgrading my rating & previous post because every issue I had last year has worked itself out at the beginning of this year. The teachers are great. The office at times is very confused. REACH is a wonderful program. The band is excellent.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is the best elementary school. All staff and teachers are competent. Kids are loved! Kids are accepted and the school is very focused in academics. We love hidden oak. Two kids and 3 years in the schools and we have no doubt this is the best elementary school in Gainesville.Parent Review8mo ago - The Rock School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI called in advance to confirm seat availability and was told there were openings, so I proceeded with the paid application—only to later find out the seats were already filled, with no clear or timely communication. I don’t care much about the amount of the application fee, but the way the admission process was handled was totally unprofessional and lacked transparency. This does not reflect the reputation one would expect from The Rock School.Parent Review11mo ago - Brentwood School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur children thrived cognitively, socially, physically and emotionally at this amazing school. The teachers and administrators go to great lengths to care for each student and the overall learning that takes place in and out of the classroom. The extended care and summer camp are top-notch. Curiosity, learning, play, creativity, and kindness are all traits fostered at Brentwood. Highly recommend!Parent Review11mo ago - Oak Hall Lower School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is a very welcoming and friendly environment for my kid who does not know English yet. The teacher and staff are so responsive and make it possible for families to get involved. So far, my kid loves it.Parent Review3y ago - Millhopper Montessori School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDisappointing and truly felt that this school failed our preschooler. After 2 years in preschool still forcing our child to go to another school for 1st grade unless he wanted to repeat an additional year of preschool for “initiating activities” more on his own. Several elitist comments from leadership and no sentiment of meeting the parents or child where they’re at to actually improve. I tell everyone I know and work with in GNV to stay away from Millhopper. Not a true Montessori. Whether it’s financially driven or just laziness, they are holding kids back far more than necessary. I have found that our story was not more common with several other families that left the school as well.Parent Review9mo ago - The Academy at the Family Church
