GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am a student here. This is terrible I ask 3 questions a day and they never answer me. The lunch is so nasty. The teachers are so disrespectful they ask for respect and they never give respect to us. My teacher has cussed at us many times. She never has ever been nice or kind to any student since February 16. And she asked why we talk while she's teaching it's because she is SO DISRESPECTFUL. the staff are rude. The pricapal is so rude and harsh for no reason they don't let you go outside. School is so dirty/never cleaned Just overall is just insanely rude staff and non Edible food and nasty hallways/classrooms. Don't bring your child to this school it's just terrible here

My grandson attended kindergarten and now 2nd grade at this school. We moved to another city during his first grade year and when we moved back he couldn't wait to come back to Decatur. He excels in Miss Banichs class! Never had a problem one with this school. I recommend Gold Academy very highly.
