Read what parents are saying about Gaithersburg Elementary SchoolVERY POOR. PRINCIPLE IS PROUD OF FURNISHING SCHOOL WITH LOTS OF FREE STUFF FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY. NO PROGRESS IN TEST SCORES YET. IF YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR KID, PRINCIPLE SUGGESTION TO TAKE YOUR KID TO PRIVATE SCHOOL.
Posted by a parent on 7/24/2019Amazing. The principal is strong and xaring, the office staff are approachable abd knowledgeable, the teachers are well versed in their craft, caring, and kind. I will gladly send both my kids to this school pk -5.
Posted by a community member on 4/7/2019My child has attend this school for the past four years. I have always liked this school and its staff. In the past two years the administration has made great changes that encourage and reward students for good character. My son has received extra resources to help with his reading comprehension and to foster his love for math. He loves his school and teachers. I would recommend this school to others.
Posted by a parent on 2/20/2018I know a lot of parents are chocked by the no homework policy, so was I at first. But I must say I was pleasantly surprised by how much our daughter learned in one year of Kindergarten at GES.She was born in U.S.A, but left the country when she was 2 years old.She came back for her Kindergarten year, not understanding or speaking English. At the end of the school year, she could not only speak but also read up to level 3 of I can read books, and also has great math skills. We had to move to a french speaking part of Canada at the end of the school year, she is still able to read French using the knowledge she gained in reading at GES. I must say Mrs HEISTER who was her teacher did a wonderful job teaching our daughter. WE would have not wanted it any other way.
Posted by a parent on 9/16/2015I moved to Gaithersburg after being told that Montgomery Co. Schools were among the best in the state... Needless to say I am very disappointed in the education or lack thereof that my child received in his time at GES. NO HOMEWORK POLICY are you serious!!!! My child has had homework since Kindergarten and I place him in this school in the third grade thinking he will receive a quality education. I could not be more wrong.. No spelling words, No homework of any kind...oh but he did get bullied and beat up... fabulous. I have since moved to a school that has homework and a much better great schools rating... I can only hope that the damage done by the lack of education in his third grade year doesn't leave permanent damage as I attempt to correct the damage done by GES.
