Extremely happy with the school excellent teacher!! Daughters have been there since preK and will DEFINATELY finish at Dr Gilbert Porter!
Well rounded school!! Amazing teachers! The kids By The time they get out of Kindergarten they are reading Also great after school program!
This school has some really awesome teachers ! Both my children have been in Mrs. Showen's class. She is a wonderful teacher. She is very strict, but the children in her class learn and they love her. Mrs. Fajardo is another wonderful teacher. She and Mrs. Showen make a great team.
My child has been attending Dr. Gilbert L. Porter E.S. for 4 years now. I personally feel that the administration has no involvement with the parents or students. The teachers are also lacking the enthusiasm and energy that these students need. Unfortunately, the first year was the best year, and these past three years here at GP continue to get worse.
my child did so good in kindergarden teacher are so good and parent involvement the best very good school
I had 4 kids in this school and no Principal compares to the first one, Mr. Zerlin. My kids loved him, he had great ideas, supported the arts and parental involvement. The current Principal, Mr. Raul Gutierrez talks too much, has shallow priorities, does not listen to the amazing teachers the school has, does not listen to anyone's input. He manages the school like a dictator, and not a smart one.
2009 was an amazing year for my son. To say the least 1st grade for him started out a bit hard...had difficulties with reading but somewhere in between with the help of a great teacher he came out ahead. My son is now reading close to 3rd grade level and he could not have done it without the help of Mrs. Ortega. So thank you Mrs. Ortega!! The school is awesome and the staff and principal are incredible!! Our kids are lucky to have this type of attention...
This year was my son's first yr in school (pre-K) he is autistic but high functional. The teachers and it's staff are absolutely incredible. My son has improved so much on all levels, because of their hard work and dedication.
Great school!! My kids love it and the learning process is amazing.
I am very happy with that school, so far. I think is providing my son with all the tools he needs to learn in.
