Not sure what the few other reviews are talking about tbh. The principal Mr Renfrow is fantastic. The teachers are amazing. And we love GMES! Lots of complainers who sit on there butts these days and don’t help, but this is a great school.

Terrible school not because of the teachers but the principals will fail to protect your children bullying is terrible and expect the principle to blame you and your child for anything going on under their watch. That principal is a joke

This school is amazing!! The atmosphere is collaborative. There is definitely a student centered focus. The teachers and staff love the students and work hard to help them grow socially, emotionally, and academically. The PRINCIPALS are great.

Lots of kids at this school do not get support they need. The principle will lie to your face. He doesnt care these kids create risks for other students. Avoid this school and this principle.
