While the school was known for having amazing teachers and field studies, it has been in decline for the past 4 years. Unable to finish their high school building, they were forced to move their high school to different locations every year and have now been forced to close the high school entirely. The middle school has no principal, assistant principal, secretary, or dean of students. I hope this school can hang on and improve, but I don't see that happening in the near future.

I've been at gems for 7 years and judging by people I Know that don't go out curriculum is very advanced. There also is little to no bullying. The teachers are a bit annoying though. There's only two teachers that I would say I don't like. Our nwea scores are usually above average as well. I'm hoping the new building is done soon,

Gems' high turnover is apparent at all levels: from the Head of School, to the teachers/staff, all the way to the students. Opened in 2014, it is now on its fourth Head of School. There's also a lot of turnover amongst teachers and staff. As for student turnover, our class lost 8 kids from last year to this year. It feels like a different school from last year to this year, with all new rules on everything from uniforms to homework. It seems like the focus is more on strict "rule following" and less on learning.
