I would rate my child's time in this school a 8/10 the reason she had a little bit of trouble in this school is because of people bullying me for how she looked and how she acted and she had a little boyfriend issues(that was a big issue.)

My daughter is only in kindergarten, but so far we've had a very good experience at George Marks. She loves school and they seem to really care about the children.

This is a great school with a wonderful staff. Everyone is friendly and they look out for our children s future. The allow children to explore the arts in theater, and art work displayed all over the school and in local shows. I am so happy my son is a part of this school.
