Garr is far from a good school. The school should be close down . the staff is RUDE and princpal Mr Green is very unprofessional he doesnt need to be over children at all not setting a good example he is RUDE also. You have to pay $5 to see your child in any program the school my have. Programs are FREE at other schools. They can't tell you where the money is going. The after school program $25 a week son homework never right. No computers for the kids in the after school program. the Free after school program with Ms. White is free for the kids she like . and she is very very rude. I will not send a dog to this school.

My child attended Pre-K at this location. I loved my childs teacher, Ms. Jones. I thought she was very well qualified, she kept me in the loop of what my child was doing on good days as well as not so good days. My child will not be attending Kindergarten at Garr. I feel some of the staff is very rude and lacks professionalism.

Garr is very unorganized. The staff are rude to the parents. There are no activities for the children. Garr sold See's candy as a fund raiser to get new equipment for the playground we haven't seen anything yet. The children don't have anything to play with when it's time to go out and play.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.

Oops! We currently do not have any student information for this school. We rely on the state Department of Education, the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), and in some cases school administrators such as registrars and principals for this data.
