The absolute best school my daughter has attended I am at this time relocateing so she can attend Gallberry Farms its all around a great place to send your kids to school they always give 110% to there classroom an keeping the parents involved...
My daughter has gone to this school for 2 years now and we absolutely love this school! My Husband and I did a fair amount of research on the schools in this area (Fayetteville and surrounding areas) before we bought our house and we found Gallberry to be one of the best! We highly recommend this area and this school in particular!
love the school staff is always polite and helpful daughter loves going to this school ! we are a military family and like that this school was smaller in size and location im so glad we chose gallberry farms district!
If you don't like the teachers or how the school is run... you better get yuor kids out and homeschool!! We really like the school and the people in it! I volunteer and trust me it pays off! It bothers me when some parents comment in a webpage but yet, don't speak with the teachers, as I know they will help you as much as they can. My quiestion to all those crying parents is... when did you walk into to the school to help or show appreciation to those pooor teachers.. all my kids have pass through gallberry... and they are doing good in Middle and very soon hig school.. I will say... if you want the school to improve.. stop juping about and become apart of the vision!
The school lacks organization, from the parking lot to the classrooms. My son has had educational issues from K-4 but what do you do as a parent when you can't afford private school, and you feel as though the public school has failed your child? There is way too much stress on the children now with the EOG testing. My son comes home crying. He has no desire to go to school anymore. For him, learning has went from a fun challenge, to a stressful threat of being held back in the same grade, regardless of how good his report card is. It seems as though every other year he has a good teacher at this school. One year he even had a teacher who had her tongue pearced!
We recentky moved to the area and my daughter attends Gallberry Farms. I have to say that I was concerned because of the test scores that they have recieved but it seems that the are trying very hard to get the scores up. I am glad to see that there is a good mix of children there as well as staff. Coming from a military background that was important to us. Because it is a smaller school know my child is comfortable in learning and I am not worried about her getting lost in the crowd.
My son enjoys attending Gallberry Farm. At Gallberry Famr you have to monitor your child's homework and progress reports. Stay in touch with the teachers and the principal about what your child needs to pass to the next grade. Doing this, your child should succeed at Gallberry Farm as mine did!
My daughter is going into the 6th grade and we are really going to miss Gallberry. She has been there since kindergarten. Every year she has been blessed with great teachers. My son is going into third this year and we are looking forward to another great year! Keep up all the good work! It is really aprreciated. Have a great year!
Overall I am, pleased with Gallberry Farms. I have two children that attend this school. The teachers do spend a lot of time on the academic success of my children. They care for the well being and over all education of my children, which is genuine and appreciated. The only complaint that I have is perhaps the utilization of thier finances. They have a new electronic ID card type system for visitors and two new interactive digital whiteboards. I think that these items are great, but considering the need for more computers for the kids to use at school, perhaps they've placed wants over needs. Every year my wife and I spend a considerable amount of money purchasing what I believe should be standard items the school should have. Tissues, hand sanitizer, tennis balls for chairs, dry eraser items and so on. 'Progress' I guess.
Gallberry Farm is a fantastic school. I have 2 children that currently attend and they love it. The teachers and staff (w/ 1-2 minor exceptions) are great and really go out of their way to create a pleasant and productive learning environment. My children have been challenged academically and continue to excel thanks to teachers who teach 'outside the box' and strive to help each student obtain the most possible from their educational experience. This encouraging attitude is mirrored by the supporting teaching assistants and other faculty members. As a military family, with 4 children in elementary through high school, we are extremely satisfied with the Gray's Creek/Gallberry Farm school combination. We have experienced both good and bad schools, teachers, and districts from around the world. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gallberry Farm to anyone looking for the best in the area.
