Gleason School is a very small school in a very small town, however it gives you a community feel. Everyone will get to know you. The food is not always the best, the academics are great depending on the class. I believe this school will prepare any child who is willing and driven for college.

I could tell you over and over how great this school is, but it does has its flaws. I have been here since Kindergarten, but I do notice that kids are less willing to accept kids that were not born and raised here. That is not always the case though, and it is a lovely school. It is very educational and has very well behaved students. There are barely any fights and we do well on tests. Don't be scared of sending your children here. It is a very safe environment for learning.

I have looked at the reviews and one particular was outrageous. In no way has a student been made to stand in front of class and be ridiculed by his classmates by his teacher's commands. The post was defamation. It is quite untrue. Now on education, yes Gleason school does not have everything. But p...

This school is like a closed society. My children transferred there and have yet to fully assimilate after several years because of the attitude toward them.
