Gwynns Falls Elementary School

Posted November 7, 2009

The FANTASTIC Gwynns Falls is a great school and I would highly recommend it to those who are looking for a quality education for their children. Great administration, dedicated teachers, and strong parent participation are only a FEW of the great things this school has to offer. This school is an example of how all our city's public schools should look.

This is my childs third year at this school and at first i was very much satisfied but now i have my doubts. Is this a school that really cares about its students or are the numbers more important? Thanks to 'No Child Left Behind', my child is making progress but i have to ask myself if it will be enough ?

My son is a fifth grader at Gwynns Falls Elem. I transferred my son into the school last school from a state school were he was going no where. I was so afraid to change schools. I made my decision and it was the best decision thus far. I held him back because i knew he wasnt ready to go on and with the help of the 4th grade team ( Phillips, Wiliams, Lockes) who i might add are awesome my son MSA scores excelled and he has now been asked to participate in Johns Hopkins program for the talented and gifted youth.This school is wonderful, the staff are warm, and the principal and vice principal truly care about the students and they are not afraid to protect their school. Thank you Gwynn falls

My son started Gwynns Falls last year 2nd quarter and had a rough start. Mrs. Johnson (principal) worked with him and never gave up even when he just wouldn't listen and had to spend some time in her office. This year my son is in Mrs. Lorenz 3rd grade class and I couldn't believe how much Mrs. Lorenz cares. My son is trying to lose or maintain his weight, every Wednesday my son goes to school and tells Mrs. Lorenz about his weight lost. Mrs. Lorenz is always excited and encourages him to continue the good work. Mrs. Lorenz even said something about joining him in his weight lost. : ) Mrs. Lorenz has even asked about which foods he can have and which ones to stay away from ( candy, cookies etc.), so when she gives out treats he will still have something. I am just impressed at how caring Mrs. Lorenz and Mrs. Johnson are. They always make time for you and always try their best to help. I am so thankful for both of them. I believe Gwynns Falls Elementary is one of Baltimore best schools. Due to the excellent teachers and other staff my son is having a great year. Also Mrs. Johnson is very observant she notice that this year my son was wearing glasses and she always complements him on how nice and smart he looks : ) I feel this makes him feel good and want to do better.
