Denton Avenue School

My family moved to the area last year. My kids had a smooth transition to their new school, they felt welcomed and part of community right away. They offer a lot of support for all students and the teachers are consistently checking in with us. We are so happy to have our kids at GCP!

My Daughter went to the school and I love this school. During in Covid, handled all day, educational matter very wisely and systematically

As a mother, what am I supposed to think?My son reports that he was repeatedly compared to George Floyd, called the N-word, and targeted throughout the school year.The student he says made those comments is still permitted to participate in sports, school activities, and graduation.My son, however, has been been removed from those opportunities and told he cannot walk at graduation.If fighting is truly the reason, why does accountability appear to be different for each child?Why were repeated concerns about racial harassment seemingly ignored?Why does the child who reported being targeted appear to be facing the harshest consequences?And when the other child's parent works at the school, how can families not question whether every student is being treated equally?Those are the questions I still do not have answers to.

A RIP-OFF. This school is great if you have a genius child who doesn’t need to be taught. For others, it’s a toxic environment, destroying your child’s self-esteem and mental health. Expect relentless pressure, test after test, and teachers who give ZERO support. It’s a home for teachers who can’t get a job elsewhere; they’ll tell your child to “look up” answers online while watching YouTube or texting their friends during class. A few teachers go even as far as bullying students and actively damaging young students out of pure enjoyment. Then, there is an issue of blatant favoritism toward children of the wealthy/influential; it's disheartening. Administrators ignore complaints and dismiss any concerns raised. The head of the school is only interested in clinging to his position, while the new upper school principal appears to be in retirement mode. If you love your child, STAY AWAY.
