Weve had an amazing experience at Garden City! My child attended all 6 years. The teachers are incredibly dedicated, patient, and truly care about each students academic and emotional growth. The school creates a welcoming and inclusive environment where every child is encouraged to do their best. The always have family engagement events where families can come enjoy the school and learn more about how to help my child.

The teachers were good to my daughter, but if you get to the front office you're going to be disappointed, a lady so rude that she shouldn't be there to attend to the public, the day I went there were more people so they wanted to talk to the principal, she's person is unbearable, if the school sees this message they should think about changing her position because the school is not bad but it is the first opinion for parents when they arrive at the main office,

I did not have a problem with the principle. But i did have a problem with the teachers. My kindergarten's teacher had a problem with my daughter because my daughter is head strong. And my 2nd grader's teacher was nice & all but i didn't think my daughter was pushed enough & thought she should have learned more.
