I am a 6th grade student who goes to this school. On a scale of 1 to 10 this school would be a four. There are many disruptive kids. It seems like the teachers are letting them off too easily. There are also many girls who seem to be the same ethnicity who will hang with others like them and leave out ones that aren't like them. (People like me) The teachers also need to buckle down on the bullying issue. It seems like they let the kids who didn't earn it have many rewards. There are some classes/students that can behave themselves very well. If you aren't held back during passing time you have a 25/30 minute lunch. All of these types of things depend on the kids but the teachers also discipline students who have done no more than merely slam a book down on snap at someone. All in all the few suggestions I can give are these. Buckle down on bullying, train the teachers to deal with problems, try to have kids come together, and last but not least discipline them correctly.

Based on my kids that are students, one is a 6th grader and the other is in 8th, the teachers are really bad this year. They're getting treated like a 2nd grader with the drawings. Lunchtime is really short due to teachers keeping them in class and talking. Teachers end up making them late for their next class. The lunch lady took my son's money and didn't give back change. The next day, he didn't bring any money, wanting to use his credit but then she told him to bring double the next day. I've been told that the teachers aren't really teaching at the grade level they need to be taught. They don't seem to know what they're doing.. Last year, one of my kid was in highly capable, this year, she feels like the standards are lower than normal.

As i tell my daughter you are as good as the people you hang around. The principal is great but needed to get tougher with these kids. He seemed to want to be their friend and not the authority figure needed at this school. Teachers sometimes would scream at the kids and than ignore them totally when things really got tough. Not sure what is needed in that situation. Less stressed teachers? More diversity training ? Kids can do good here though if they don't get caught up with the drama all around them.

I went to Giaudrone for a few months. I switched. It all depends on who your hanging out with and what you choose to do. The teachers are great . However the cousiler and principal should fufill their jobs a bit more. The students get away with a lot of disrespect and bullying. Fights happen a lot!! mostly down 49th. And sociel alienation is a huge problem. Giaudrone is great when it comes to education but when it comes to being in a safe enviroment and making friends..... think twice :)

This school has went downhill in the last couple of years and you can see by the test scores. I believe most of the teachers and couselors are great, but not fond of the Principals. I think kids needs to be connected to the adults that surround them and not feel threatened. I also believe students needs to be Accountable more. They are starting to be way out of line.

I go to this school and is currently in the seventh grade. This school offers a great HC plan and the classes are very nice. The teachers are very pro. at things and are very nice. Except for one thing. They need better respect from students though. Just a thought for anyone who reads thins. The teachers are teaching you so you are ready for the future. So next time, think before you disrespect a teacher.
