I have two children in this school and think it is a great school i don't always agree, but that is with all schools . We have people at the school that go way beyond just being an employee. You have parents that are there whenever they see a kid in trouble no matter who the kid is . We do have problems with some kids, but i think if you think there are problems at geary elementry, maybe you should go to the city to see real problems. I give our school, teachers, staff an a for a great job.

Of all the schools that me or my children have attended, this school would rate very low on my standards. With students out of control. Teachers who are unable to teach correctly. And a large amount of teachers saying words that children should not hear. Upon many complaints nothing was still done about it. Many students go thru a daily life at this school being threatened. This school is one that I and several parents would not recommend.
