Gainesville Country Day School

The principal is a micromanager who makes the teachers miserable, which shows in the lack of smiles and warmth at this school. All she cares about are the state test scores, not the well-being of the students. She runs the place like a penitentiary, and it's just as cheerful.

This school is disorganized and poorly managed. Teachers are unprofessional, unhelpful and have zero oversight and accountability. IEPs are not implemented and children with special needs are treated poorly.

I 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.

We have really enjoyed being a part of QOP. Its a wonderful school and amazing staff and teachers. So lucky to have my kids here.

Our 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!

It 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.
