my daughter attends & they need $$ to make the school a better place for the kids!
—Submitted by a parent


Posted August 5, 2009

I am a school administrator and took a lot of time to find a school that I thought was good enough for my son. I have been VERY happy with GLCPS. they take the time to individualize programs for students, create afterschool and summer opportunities when parents make suggestions and the staff are not only professional but committed to the success of each student. I have never dealt with any teacher who has given me their home and cell number in case I have questions or need to know more. SEVERAL teachers at GLCPS have done that and my son is a regular, B/C student so there is not something done for special students.

This school is a joke teachers have no control over their students very unprofessional environment. Favoritism needs to end amongst teachers and students. School is a disaster.
