I like the community atmosphere. It feels less like a school and more like a group of friends learning.

My son is just starting his fourth year at GWCS. The biggest strength of the school is the ability to respond to the needs of the many different learners in ways where they feel "seen" and valued. My child is able to take advanced classes and have opportunities for enrichment during their after school programs that are uniquely tailored to his interests. Many of his friends struggle with one academic area or another and they take advantage of the hands-on learning (yes ,even during COVID) and the opportunities for focused remediation during daily office hours. The community focus looks at the whole child in a way that is unique during the high school years. My family would recommend this school to other families looking for a fit for their quirky teen with so much to offer who struggles with the traditional classroom.

There's definitely room for improvement, but overall there's a lot of communication between parents, teachers, and students, so that helps maintain policies.

GWCS is a hidden gem. When traditional public school could not meet the needs of my nontraditional child, GWCS opened their doors and hearts. The staff is unwavering in their patience, support, and flexibility, but the key ingredients to this community are genuine kindness and compassion. The small...

GWCS has been an amazing school for my autistic trans daughter. She has had the academic support to succeed and get into the college of her choice. She has had the school community and friendships that she has always wanted and never found in her past school experiences. Class sizes are small and ea...
