I've been at GM for 6 years and have been very impressed with the quality of the teachers, the warmth of the community and the involvement of parents. I feel very lucky to have stumbled on this neighborhood.

The Kindergarten teacher lost my child, releasing him to the wrong family. This school is unsafe and does not care about students as individuals.
