This school was such an amazing place to go to. Every year when i went my love grew. All of my teachers were always amazing and so supportive and helpful with what you needed. The admin took everything very seriously such as bullying and fights. They made sure to avoid fights at all costs. The counseling department was amazing I personally knew all counselors and they all went above and beyond for everybody. I really recommend this school. The teachers were amazing and taught me a lot of things within and outside the curriculum. I felt like I was actually being taught and not shown a slide show. The best teachers were Mrs Salazar and Mrs Rasco who went above and beyond to help students. Garcia is a place for everyone.

Bro first off when i went here we got two bomb threats and shooting threats. I got bullied, harassed, and constantly had to deal with weird boys and nobody did anything about it. I got detention for chewing gum. There’s some teachers I really liked but some classes I didn’t learn ANYTHING. Spanish and history mainly. But I really did like the science class and learned a lot in there.

Garcia is one of the best schools I've ever been too. I'm an 8th grader now and I have been enjoying all my years here. The teachers are amazing, the homework is balanced and everything is mostly digital which makes everything so much easier. The students are great and it's a very friendly environment. I'm very happy that my sister gets to come to Garcia as well. I just LOVE this school!

Ms Gomez in the front office is extremely RUDE. My daughter tore her ACL joint and she was upset that my daughter needed an elevator key for the remainder of the year. If she knew what my husband did for a living she wouldn't act that way. The attendance staff is horrible. Thank God she has 1 year left!!!! The teachers are great but the front office staff ruins everything!!!!!

My child just started sixth grade and was very nervous. Garcia has made it a very smooth transition for her. They have had several activities to familiarize her with the school including introduction to sixth grade camp, family night, market days, and 6th grade orientation. Everyone is so understanding and they use and encourage the use of technology with learning. I love the way the classes are taught with the "flipped" classroom technique. This school is using technology in a great way and my daughter loves it.
