Gallimore Elementary School

Best school in the neighborhood. Teachers and principal really love what they do.

My kids (one completed and other one going to 2nd grade) studying in Hulsing . Teachers and staffs are amazing. Teachers encourage students for social and extra curriculum

Teachers are not well trained and there is a high rate of teacher turnover. Pay for teachers is terrible, so there is a mix of desperate and highly motivated teachers. Educational standards are not age-appropriate and educational methods do not encourage learning. Any high test scores that they boast are a result of only accepting children who are already ahead academically, and are self-learners. In a year of attending, my child learned nothing from their academics program, and little from their Islamic studies program. The one benefit was how much qur'an my child was able to memorize. I was very pleased. But a major negative was their worksheet-based teaching method. Students would be taught from worksheets, given identical copies of those worksheets for homework and exam review, and then their semester exams would be a big packet composed of identical worksheets. It was a joke, especially given that my child was in kindergarten and I do not believe "exam week" is very appropriate at that age. Despite not struggling at all academically at ST, my child was behind when it came to starting first-grade class at a new school.
