Three of my children have attended this school. The school overall does not move my needle. I will note it seems there is a constant turn-over of teachers at this school. From conversations I have had with teachers in this part of the county, they see this as a resume builder, and it gets them to their next job. I've never had an issue with the teachers my children have had. I am a firm believer that the education level of my child is not solely the responsibility of the teacher, that my wife and I play large parts too. I don't understand the new PARCC testing, and according to my wife, neither did 2/3s of the parents... And my comment on leadership? The principal. To me, the man is a weak leader. Why? I have seen him at assemblies where he loses the kids. My wife and I sought to have my son advanced a grade, and while the teacher and the testing supported it, he did not. Citing difficulties learning a new method of math instruction. Too bad my son is #1 in his class at GSMS. And he cannot pronounce my sons name. It isn't a tough one to say. But he screws it up every time. I am not impressed by him, and neither are some of his teachers. Stay involved with your kid, and you'll be fine. Leave it to the teachers to do, and you'll be asking why your can't read? In the end, it could have been worse, but I will be glad when my time is over here.
