Greenbrier Primary School

My daughter went to this school from Pre kindergarten to 1st grade. Teachers in all grades were super awesome comparing to the high rated schools she is in now.

Our student had a very mixed experience at this school, but overall 1 star due to the administration. Multiple incidents involving bullying and injury to our student , with zero consequences or action from administration, negligent behavior. Over the past year we had multiple incidents that were brought to the attention of admin, including another student breaking our student's bone, which was a very serious injury. No consequences for the other student and administration retaliated when we pushed for action/consequences. Was basically told that "boys will be boys". Our student did have 3 very good teachers during their time there, but also 2 teachers that were very rough. So overall, a very mixed bag of educators. I would definitely not recommend this school, with the current administration.

My concerns with GCA include: - My daughter has worn a particular pair of blue jeans MANY times but gets sent home one random day due to an emblem which signifies the brand. It is not inappropriate.- The school emails about prom dresses and requiring over 10 specifics which may require alterations. I get modesty especially in a Christian school but it is behind overkill with their demands (I'm told generally from the female principal)- My daughter once held hands with a boy at a football game and was told not to do so. Meanwhile, the principal and the security guard are married so PDA is allowed. Numerous reports of this including photos as evidence. This is not leading by example. - I have been told the security guard (the one married to the principal) smokes cigars on his golf cart before school begins. Again, not leading by example with what is required of students.- The teachers are gravely underpaid. Some of them also do not have degrees in what they teach (though maybe not required, just discomforting).- The theatrical productions are low budget and very poorly done. Unfortunately, no help monetarily seems to go to this program. Rough sets, somewhat poor quality microphones & speakers, charges to audience but performance doesn't back up cost. - None of the sports programs seem to prep a kid for the next level competitively with exception of baseball. This may be an opinion but this is observation. - There are plenty of rumors, "clicks" and overdramatic responses from staff if things don't go a certain way. Students get the brunt of it. - There are reports of many students transferring even for their Senior year.- Low flexibility or exceptions for family travel if during a school year.- Please don't dare allow your kid to publicly make mistakes outside the school. Even if there is a photo noticed of a parent or adult beverage near a kid at a private party in your home or event...be prepped that your kid may be called to the office over that.- My kid and many of her friends complain about the school pretty consistently.

My daughter has had an amazing experience there. GEC is family friendly, Christ centered, and a wonderful place to learn and grow. I cannot say enough good things about this school!

My daughter has attended Atlantic Shores from K-3 (since 2012) and will be a senior next year. We have absolutely LOVED our experience at Shores! The care of the teachers and administration have been excellent. My daughter has had strong academics that are setting her up for success in her college years. She also participated in sports, the arts, foreign languages and cultural experiences, student leadership, and spiritual growth. We would highly recommend Shores for students who would like a well-rounded experience taught from a Biblical world view. I have been very engaged in the school throughout and have not experienced or heard the negative experiences shared in other reviews. In the last 5 years, we have expanded our space to accommodate more students and families, increased safety in meaningful ways, and expanded our curriculum and extracurricular offerings. Couldn't find another better school. Love our Shores family!

Horrible ! Please don’t send your kids here
