I really love Gwin Oaks. The teachers that we've had have been great. The school is very communicative. The staff are great from the teachers, front office, clinic, cafeteria and counselors. They are really all about their students. They think thoroughly through all the decisions they make. The school also does a lot of fun things for the kids. Gwin oaks is also very diverse. My child has learned a lot in this school I am very impressed.

Excellent leadership, wonderful instruction, and effective, clear communication. This school and the entire BHS cluster is the reason we moved to this area. We are very happy with both our children in this program.
