Gwin has been a wonderful school for two of my sons. Both of them have learning problems and the teachers have been remarkable. The support staff is more than qualified to help students and the administration has been impressive. I have a third son starting kindergarten this year and we are looking forward to every aspect of school.
Overall, Gwin has been a fairly good school. I don't have experience with other elementary schools. There are many areas where Gwin truly shines. We have wonderful, caring teachers and that would be what I fell is the strong point of our school. The communication from teachers is excellent. Emails on a regular basis if needed. There could be improvement in communication from admistration. They have started some new 'clubs' for the students and I believe that is going to become a strongpoint. Areas of improvement that I see would be a stronger academic curriculum. The children are often required to participate in 1 1/2 hours of reading during school hours. This seems excessive to me, however, I am not a trained educator. We have a wonderful science lab that is barely used. Overall, the experience has been good but would have liked a stronger academic program.
Gwin Elementary is truly a 'neighborhood' school. There is a very organized Parent Teacher Organization with many planned activities and learning opportunities presented to the children. I have two children at Gwin and they both continue to grow and learn in an atmosphere that they enjoy. The teachers and principals take a vested interest in each of the students and make every effort to match students and teachers with their personalities and learning-teaching styles. We have been pleased with the academic level that both of our children have reached and with the content of what the teachers bring to the classroom. The art and music programs have kept our daughters' interest and brought out their abilities in these areas. Again there is such as strong sense of community surrounding this school and supporting the faculty that it can only continue to improve.
