No respect for parents, students, or anything else for that matter.

The leadership is the worst part about the school. The teachers are probably more qualified than the principal.

No homework most of the time and zero communication.
Posted: May 13, 2019
Again, little to no communication with parents at all.

Utterly disgusted with the lack of compassion or concern for students situations.

This school was an answer to my prayers. My son was struggling , and not doing well in school. His anxiety was so bad he hated school ! I was able to get him into this school and the Administration has a wonderful program for students like him . He gets the help he needs and his grades have improved drastically !!! He loves school now!!! I am so thankful for Ms. Burnett and all the teachers at Gentian !!

This school has a daily 'color' chart through which each childs behavior is monitored throughout the day. There is a positive to this system, if your child is an angel, however my child is at an age where she/he brings home a 'bad' color every other day. while speaking with my child regarding the chart, she/he said that it makes her/him feel not good when I review the daily color. My child is not a bad student, yet feels that she/he is. I encourage my child to aim for the top 'good' color, but since she/he is mot meeting the expectation, I believe my child feels that although she/he tries their best, it's not an effective way to send the student home each day. My child has also expressed that the cafeteria employees do not like her/him, and feels the teachers assistant also displays a dislike behavior towards her/him. If it were not so late in the school year I would move her/him into a different School.
