Darwin L Gilmore Elementary School

Great experience . The teachers are dedicated to the students

The staff and teacher are working hard to improve dismissal process. The art, music and p.e teachers are caring and helpful.

The administration is not accessible and not responsive to parent concerns. The current principal does not directly interact with students or parents. Fortunately, the teachers are caring, but overworked and stressed due to the large class sizes. This is a stark contrast to the elementary school my children previously attended elsewhere in the district where the administration was accessible and supported the teachers, students, and parents for a truly collaborative learning environment.

Staff are very stressed and teachers either don't reply to emails or take several weeks to get back to you. I found the whole staff to be very tense at times and when dealing with other parents in several occasion I observed them to be very irretible. In general they are not welcoming .
