The IB program is good but the school lacks resources. This includes its athletic facilities and lack of diverse classes. The school does not have a lot of school activities which does not attract students to the school.

The best thing about George Washington is the staff. They are supportive when students reach out. There are limited resources at the school. I do feel that this high prepared me as best as possible for college.

My daughter is going into her Junior year and i am happy to say she has never been in any kind trouble. I believe the way we raise our kids that's how they will behave in school and every where! I appreciate the job principal Mr. Gallick is doing in improving our school and neighborhood! Thank you!
