My family moved to the area last year. My kids had a smooth transition to their new school, they felt welcomed and part of community right away. They offer a lot of support for all students and the teachers are consistently checking in with us. We are so happy to have our kids at GCP!

This school do give students the oppurtunity to do better in their assignments and curriculum if kids are willing too. They have extra classes if your kid needs more attention or practice. School staff is friendly and supportive. With the new playground kids love it here. Only one thing that i would really bring up for school or NHP-GCP district is to provide some form of sports group activity for kids. Over all happy and content.

The school goes above and beyond as far as I can tell for the students. Adding extra teachers, teaching in clusters and creating a feel on community are just some of the ways they do the neighborhood justice.

I have had experience with the best and the worst at this school.

Children are recognized and rewarded for their good choices . I think that is a wonderful way they are promoting all this.

Concerns seem to be swept under the carpets quite a bit . Favoritism seems to be an issue in the district .

When my kids started I had high hopes because of the low student teacher ratio and the small family like community but I realize now that if I had depended on just the school, my kids would have ended up totally unprepared for the competition in the real world . Thankful for all the outside resources that helped them .

There is such little and some days none. Reason has always been that so much work has been done at school so the children don't need any more. I dont thinnk it hurts any child to do extra work at home. Repetition is essential for retention

Lowest teacher to student ratio. Teachers give great attention and care to their students. My daughter loves to learn thanks to her great teachers.

The school has lowest teacher-student ratio in all the NHP-GCP schools. The teachers are very responsive and give each child a lot of care and attention.
We have talked to the teachers in each grade for last 3-4 years and they are very involved in child's overall development. They like to challenge the child to achieve higher so that each child can learn at his/her own pace. My kid was able to excel to higher grade levels in several subjects as the teacher kept on introducing new concepts to her.
This school might be the best hidden gem!!

By far the best school in the NHP-GCP school district. Small class sizes, enthusiastic, creative and loving teachers and a community atmosphere. I feel very fortunate that I can send my children there. They have always received the best care and education available today.
