When a school condones bullying and protects the bully nothing else matters. Kids are not safe here.

This school is filled with small town bullies. Students and teachers. After reaching out to the teacher and principal, nothing is done. Now they are targeting my kids with any little thing. Would NOT recommend.

My daughter loves going to school and has excelled at a fast rate. Her teacher is awesome and my daughter loves her. The main reason for us living in Gardner is because of the school. Small classes result in more personal attention to each student.
