Unfortuenty, my child was miserable at this school. The teachers were burnt out, rude, and even went as far as to through away the belongings of my child in class. This is unaceptable, dont send your child to this school,.

I found this school to be an enormous disappointment. My child was being taught by a teacher whose enthusiasm for teaching had dissipated long ago and really should have retired. My child grew a dislike for school and we were fortunate enough to realize this early on and made the decision to move to a better school in order for him to foster a love for learning. Unfortunately, this is the one and only school in Girdwood, so unless you want to drive to Anchorage every day, you have to deal with this mediocre school.
