Gps is so special. I love the community, environment, and energy. Everyone here builds you up teachers, friends, and coaches. One of the best decisions I made was coming here I'm so glad to be apart of the sisterhood.

I love the culture at GPS the most. Although "sisterhood" is a cheesy term to describe the experience of attending GPS, after spending almost 7 years here I can attest to the fact that the sisterhood you get out of GPS is not easily found at other schools. Although GPS lacks diversity, it is improving and I am proud to be an (almost) alum.

I would not be who I am today without my years at GPS. Being surrounded by so many amazing women at GPS was foundational in my formative years. I saw women lead in a variety of ways without fear of failure - from athletics, to the arts, to academics, to community involvement. I am a confident, secure leader in my community because of the skills, knowledge, wisdom, and mentorship I received at GPS.

My daughter went to middle school at GPS. She was severely bullied and tormented at this school along with other girls.

I was a student here for 7th and 8th grade while we lived in TN. It was quite possibly one of the worst experiences of my life. As some other reviews have mentioned, the majority of girls who attend here come from very wealthy families and they have their own little social 'bubble' that they all fie...

I have been favorably impressed. I initially had doubts and misconceptions and they have been changed. One of my daughters is happier here than at any other school she has ever attended.

I'm very surprised by the negative reviews in here. In my experience they are inaccurate. My daughter is in middle school here and we've had nothing but great experiences. Of course they are strict and challenge the girls to maximize their learning but that's what makes it a great College Preparator...
