Robert Gray is an amazing school. The teachers are attentive and professional, and the staff do a great job of keeping the parents informed about events, and the Principal (Dr. Franklin) is an absolute All-Star in education! Both of my kids have thrived there and both math and reading.

I agree wholeheartedly with the other reviews. Don't let the standardized test scores, location, demographics or anything else fool you. This school is great. The teacher to student ratio was excellent, the teachers were ALWAYS very involved and caring, they encouraged communication between kids, parents, and teachers, and the school just genuinely CARES. My child goes to one of the charter schools now because of location to work but if I could, I would certainly have her back at Robert Gray. Great big thank you to this school!

My daughter is in the 5th grade. I am a proud parent! robert gray is on top of everything from the principal to the staff. Whatever ms.Franklin, is doing is wonderful. The attitude carries thru out the school, my daughter never wants to miss a day and if she does there's an attitude that i have to deal with. The marching band is awesome, i attended the parade (keep up the good work robert r gray).
