My son has been in this school for last couple of years. The teachers have been very good and involved and provide consistent feedback. The parent-teacher meetings are informative and very helpful. The school infrastructure overall is good as well. There is good diversity in the student mix which is really desirable. We send our son to the SCOPE after-school program which is in the same building. So there is no need to separate bus ride. Overall, it has been a very good experience.

Overall, good school with diverse student population and teachers. My Son just graduated from 1st grade and I was very happy with the progress he has made. The teacher had a very methodical way of sending homework assignments for the whole week in a package and would check periodically on completion within the week. The parent teacher meetings were very informative to get update on progress, how he was doing vs peers.

GW is excellent!! It is equipped with top technology for children to excel in reading, math and science. The PTA is really involved and the curriculum requires parental involvement. The teacher well qualified and with many years of experience. The children are getting a lot of information about eating healthy, exercise, manners, ... Etc. I truly enjoy when my daughter enlight me with yoga positions....lol
