Not happy with the school at all and the dismissal tired of sitting in line for 15 to 20 minutes after dismissal for them to bring my grandchild in the car. They have their favorite parents in line and they get their kids out first before dismissal. while making my granddaughter stand there and wait when Im the first car in line, they need to get it together with dismissal. Here its really ridiculous. I dont care who their friends are who they have connections with my grandchild will not stand there and wait I will pull her out of the school until they can get it right

Jasmin Banks is the best teacher at the school. I have had two children go through this school and both have been very successful. Great School!

Both of our both attend GCE and we are very happy with the way the teachers are working with them. The pickup/drop off could be better with someone guiding traffic full time during the pickup and drop off times. Other than that, we are very happy and feel comfortable with our children at GCE. I think the score for GCE was 8/10 before there was an incident with a student behaving poorly and one of the 5th grad teachers did not handle it well. The case was settled but the GCE rating took a big hit. This is a fine school, there are outliners in every group, disregard the one off. Best Teachers Ever are Mrs.Roberts, Mrs. Martin, and Mrs.Drennon, Ms.Arrants, Mrs.Baldwin, Ms.Freeman, with a huge shout out to Dr.Williford in the music department! Our kids are in 1st and 2nd grades so Im sure we will be meeting other awesome teachers along the way.

My son was in the 1st grade and retained due to the school not providing the help he needed in a timely manner. I asked for help repeatedly and he finally received help Feb 27th 2017 and he made progress but was still retained this school needs resources to help children from the start especially when a parent has attended several meetings and begging for help. If I could afford private school that's where he would be.

My son is always punched or kicked by students and it's brushed off by school administrators.

Horrible I feel the teacher my son had was not concerned with helping him. I didn't like having to wait until Feb 27th 2017 to get help for my son when the school year was almost over.

Big school but with a big heart! I have worked at GCP since it opened and love the way we rally for kids. The folks who work here want to be here because they love helping kids.

My grandson goes to your school for 3 years now. I think there should be a better way of communication. Sometimes the teacher fills out his communication book and sometimes she doesn't even tell us how or what they did to improve or not. This is the only issue I have with the school. With the bus system I do not know why they have an assistant on the bus for the small ones. She doesn't help them up or down on the bus when they need it. Ya'll can have the bus driver strap them in or the parents. No sense in paying someone who doesn't help the driver. That is my opinion. Other than that I do not have anything negative about the teaching
