It was a great experience, I would never pass up a small school that welcomes around and loves everyone. All my life I've looked at places to fit in and when I ended up here I found Gaston.
11/1/2018
The only thing i would change would be the administration. Most all of the teachers are very good and strive to help us succeed and get ready for college. The principals on the other hand, not so much. They worry too much about the little things and if causes the big things to take off and run and become worse. Other than that, Gaston is a good school. The education levels are very good.

Gaston being a smaller school allows better student teacher relationships and help. Everyone in this area in all are just people that you want to be around, and make friends with. Gaston is not only a school but eventually a home.
