I wonder what happened to the rating system. My child just graduated. This school was the BEST in town when my kid started kindergarten. Six years later it’s the worst in town.

Very good. Staff cooperates with each other and policies are consistant throughout the building. Most students appear happy to be at GLE and teachers highly support all of the children.
