Teachers actually care, are over qualified to teach (MAs and PhDs standard), safety and organization are a priority, students actually interact and smile, and they are truly learning, not being indoctrinated into socialist ideology. If football/cheer culture or the latest tech is your priority this school is not for you.

I was once a student here from early to mid 2023, and I absolutely hated EVERY SECOND of it.
The P.E felt more like bootcamp than actual P.E. Science didn't even teach us about science and taught us more about some Dead philosophers. The art class was decent I guess. The special needs classes were the only exceptional class out of the bunch.
The uniforms are tight and seemingly aren't designed for anything other than appearing nice on the outside while disregarding personal comfort. And the fact that wearing any form of jacket or outerwear that doesn't have the schools branding can get you reprimanded is incredibly stupid AT THE LEAST.
The lunch was more like DOG FOOD rather than something meant for human consumption, and tasted like it was made using whatever they could find in the trash.
The constant enforcing of the "no pop culture" rule is annoying and makes it nearly impossible to make casual conversation with other students without having staff and faculty police your words.
I would say I felt safe in the school if it wasn't for the fact that someone brought a KNIFE inside without anyone detecting it, and then threatening to stab another kid (he was kicked out of the school shortly after).
The constant use of no technology makes it extremely difficult to actually understand the subjects while the teachers blabber on about irrelevant or unimportant topics.
Overall, I give this school a -1082826279161790/10
May this curse of an "establishment" fall one day, and on that day I will rejoice at their fall from grace.

Great Hearts is the best that happened to my family since we came to the United States.
