We live in Norwalk but we prefer my son to be a student in Gardenhill Elementary school rather than a homeschool in Norwalk. Now he has been in the first grade for two months,he loves his teacher Mrs. Wright and Mrs. Ross and both of them do great. Before at kindergarten, Mrs. Mullen was his teacher and she was very exellent and wonderful teacher. Not only my son but we do love her. Thank you very much Mrs. Mullen, we are Kenneth's parents. Next year his younger brother is going to be a member of this school. Obviously, with API score 902, this is the best elementary school in the district.
Gardenhill is the number 1 school in their district for test scores, besides being a nationally recognized blue ribbon school.
Love this school! Transferred my son from another school in my district to get him into this school. Teachers are wonderful and are always willing to spend time with me everyday to discuss my child's needs.
Gardenhill is great school. Academics are great, most of the teachers are great. My child had Mrs. Gersbacher and I would recommend her to anyone who wants a kind and nurturing teacher for their child. She is genuinely concerned for each [Big] A+ for Mrs. Gersbacher and Gardenhill. The only negative are the parents. Too many cliques.
Our child has attended Gardenhill for the last two years. The 1st grade team was wonderful, especially Mrs. Hodge. She has such a loving, and dedicated attitude. I would recommend this school to all my friends.
Great school - my son grew so much academically and he loves school. Good priorities and focus on providing a solid education. Teachers are very committed and dedicated.
Academically, my daughter has gained a great foundation that has allowed her to raise her own standards. Thanks to Mr. Rogers for hanging in there to make sure that no child really is left behind. The school lacks after school extracurricular activities. The school lacks organized drop-off/pick-up procedures. The parents have a high level of involvement and commitment in thier children's education.
Gardenhill does rock! My son has a love for learning and I have his teachers to thank. He has had great teachers both in kindergarten (Mr. Rodgers) and first grade (Mrs. Suzuki and Mrs. Wright). He looks forward to going to school everyday.
My granddaughter is a student in the second grade within Ms. Francis class, her education has blossomed in that she has developed a desire to read and study with out much coaxing. She is excited about going to school and has the greatest regard for her teacher, in fact, she had Mr. Rogers last year and had the same intensity level when it came to going to school. She likes her teacher and feels her teacher treats her and all her classmates with warm regard and respect. This says a lot about Gardenhill School, my son had gone to Gardenhill and his feelings were very similar to his Daughters, my granddaughter. The school is always having functions in behalf of the students and parents. The parent teacher conferences are very good and enlightening on the progress of my granddaughter.
I am very pleased with both of my daughters academic progress. They love to go to school, so the staff is doing something right. As my daughters say ' Gardenhill Rock's '
