This is our 2nd year at GFA. Our daughter went to a nature school previously and was homeschooled before that so I was nervous about her going into a traditional learning environment. She loves GFA. She loves her teacher and she gets to do STEAM class with upper school kids which she loves. She like
Posted by a parent on 11/26/2025I really love this school. My child was having some medical issues, and we kept getting flagged for truancy (despite him having an A average and working with his teachers). We eventually withdrew him from his local public school and found GFA. It worked out really well. He found a great group of fri
Posted by a parent on 2/1/2025If I could give this school zero stars I would. It is a vile place that has ruined my son's mental health. A once joyful and confident child has become a young person who basically has anxiety and depression from the horrible treatment. Most of the teachers do not teach and the ones that are good le
Posted by a parent on 1/22/2023GFA is based on ineffective leadership, ineffective discipline and curriculum that should have been updated a decade ago.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI appreciate the time my child has spent in this school. The teachers and staff have been wonderful and available for consultation from me as a parent. They seem to genuinely care about the kids. The principal is active and well known. I have seen him many times interacting with the teachers and children and not only back in an office. There are plenty of (pre-covid) activities that are well planned to bring the community together. I feel my family is respected and my child is getting a great education. The building is inviting and there is a good atmosphere.Parent Review5y ago - High Mount Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll I can say is that if you have an above-average child, you will probably love this school. However, if your child is average or below average and needs extra help, you will likely face many problems and have a very difficult experience here. The principal is the worst we’ve had since my kids started attending, and now she’s being promoted to superintendent. This school used to be amazing before she ruined it.Parent Review1mo ago - St Teresa Catholic School
