Gardner Bullis Elementary School

Gardner Bullis is a small school with caring, engaged teachers, staff and principal. The school has a very strong and active PTA and an incredible parent community that is very involved and supportive of the school. We love this school and the strong sense of community created by the families.

Next year I will have 3 children at Gardner Bullis and I Love the school. The children are kind, the teachers and staff are amazing. The teachers and staff will go above and beyond to satisfy the students needs whether it be emotional or academic support.

There is no school or community quite like Gardner Bullis. The principal is a thoughtful leader who understands the importance of educating the whole child and doesn't get caught up in the hype of Silicon Valley. She treats everyone with the utmost respect - from staff to teachers to students and parents - and it shows in the way the teachers manage their classrooms. We have had nothing but incredible teachers who have expanded my children's interests in ways I could have never imagined. The parent community is hands down the best. Parents are highly engage in the school, actively volunteer and are always available to help one another. It is the kind of school where parents check in on your kids when you are out of town, or send you photos from a field trip that you couldn't attend, or lend a hand when you forgot to order hot lunch (I'm not the only one, right?). Gardner Bullis is exactly the kind of community I always hoped to raise my kids in and feel incredibly blessed to have found it.

Our experience has been mixed. I would agree with most of the statements of the parent who posted in response to the negative post. It's a small community, engaged, diverse, lots of volunteers, social scene can be fun. However, the posts of the negative opinion were also our observations and in some cases, our personal experience as well.
