We are very happy with this school. Fantastic teachers, dedicated office staff and overall great experience.

This is an amazing school. The entire staff is dedicated in helping each child obtain all possible goals and achievements. The staff includes everyone from the teachers to the administrative staff in the front office. They care genuinely about your childs well being. I couldn't have asked for a better school to raise my kids in (all 4 of my children have gone to GES). I have two children that have A.D.D. The teachers made sure my children received the attention they needed for their A.D.D. I always receive phone calls or emails when the teachers are concerned or even just to say they are doing well. This is an outstanding school.

My fifth grade son is in his second year at GES and he loves it. We are a military family, so finding a good school is sometimes hard to do, but with GES we have been very happy. The teachers are great and their Program for the Academically Talented is wonderful. I would highly recommend this school.

Our experience has been fantastic, our children have attended GES since 2005. Caring, professional teachers, exceptional staff and top notch administration are just the beginning. The level of the parental involvement just amazes me. This is a community school. We have chosen not to move until our children finish at GES. It exceeds my expectations.

My son is in K at Grapevine Elem. We moved to the area specifically for the schools, and we have not been disappointed. Dedicated teachers, adminstration, and staff. We are very happy with the progress he has made at GES.
