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.

We have been at Gower for three years now and our children are growing emotionally, socially, and academically. We have had been so lucky with incredible teachers each year, and the Principal clearly cares so much about our school’s success.

Our experience with Gower has been wonderful. There are a variety of related arts offered and my children are excited to go to school each day. There is a strong sense of community with plenty of school events and opportunities for kids to build relationships. We love our neighborhood school!

My experience as a parent has been great so far. The principal at this school is a strong leader who expects a lot from teachers and students. The PTO is a great group. My children love being Gower Gators!
