Overall, GWCES has come a long way from what it used to be. Administration has changed & staff has shifted. Students cannot learn until their basic needs are taken care of and many do not have full support before coming to school. Of course there will be challenges, it is expected, but the staff do try to meet those needs and build learning upon that. You cannot penalize a school because the Board of Education has crazy policies, that is a county issue. That is not the teachers or admins fault. I have no qualms about my child attending this school - he has loved it.

This is school is lacking in consistency with the students. My child has attended this school for the last 4 years, and I do not see anything to brag, boast or even be proud to say my child attends this school. The teachers are not teaching these students, they have more outbreaks of lice than I have ever seen, the children at this school are suffering because the County is "ok" with the students in this area are not expected to be anything but the minimum wage workers for the county. IF the teachers do care, the budget for this school is grossly misused or misdirected. Brand new school and no one cares about the students that attend the school. And if anyone thinks I am misrepresenting this school, please look at the test scores for this school for the last few years. This is so sad, because these students deserve teachers and staff that care about them and their futures in this world. These same children that are being left behind but passed along in grade, will not be able to graduate... not that this is what the county would like to have happen with the children in this area anyway. I wish this school would create their own initiative to get these kids the help they need.
