It was a great experience bring here! I've learned a lot , and everyone here wants to see you succeed and helps to the best of their ability

I like how GAR has a very diverse and cultural setting. It has good teachers and classes. Classes like science and math based are very good. If I had to change some things from GAR , it would be their food. They should change and improve their food.
2/3/2019
GAR overall is a very good school. The teachers are kind and always there to help. Something I would like to change would be the technology used in the school. We have outdated computers, the internet doesn't work sometimes, and the books are so outdated.
