Special Ed kids aren't given any consequences for misconduct. A special ed kid was bullying my friend for months. We finally reported him and he did not get any consequences for it.

My friend was bullied by multiple people for most of the year. She is on a different team and the kids on her team misbehave often. The teachers saw it happening and did nothing. She reported them to a counselor and she didn't do anything either.

This is not a great school. The kids are disrespectful and the rules are not enforced. We are forced to use computers from 2007 and the school's conputers have gotten viruses before.

I am a 6th grade student at Gildersleeve. Although I'm new i believe this school is a perfect example of a great school. Our teachers are great especially the resource classes. The extracurriculars are just icing on the cake at this school. Our academic programs are just wonderful. I being an advanced student myself find that the program does challenge even me. I am extremely proud to be a Gildersleeve Seahawk this year and the next to years to come.
