One of my children attended this school for 3 years and my other child just started there this school year. I have been very pleased with the principal and the teachers there. I have witnessed one of the paraprofessionals being very rude to a student, and I should have reported it. I have been thrilled with the 4 teachers who I have direct experience with at GHR. I feel confident that my kids are getting a great education. You can tell that the teachers care about the children and their families. Many of the staff, including Mr. Dangieu and Mrs. Emerson really stand out as being exceptional teachers! I highly recommend visiting your child at lunch or recess or helping in the classroom. It's good for your child, you and helpful to the teacher.

I have one child attending GHR. The education quality varies from grade to grade and teacher to teacher. 3rd grade I feel he learned a great deal. 4th grade was a cake walk as far as work load. Discipline is dealt with on a teacher to teacher basis, and is not consistant throughout the school. One teacher has disciplined a student for a minor infraction, where another teacher feels no disciplinary action is needed for a major threat to a classmate. My son also has food allergies. The school has not or is not willing to institute certain safety procedures to keep him safe. What procedures they do have, are not enforced (from my own observations). There have been instances of contamination regarding his food allergies, in the 2003/2004 school year.

About the tests


In 2008-2009 Connecticut used the Connecticut Mastery Test (CMT) to test students' skills in reading, writing and math in grades 3 through 8, and in science in grades 5 and 8.
