I'm a student here and this school SUCKS, for lack of a better word. There is absolutely no dicipline and the lunches are extremely unhealthy. I get bullied all the time.

My son really had a hard time at GW. There is a lot of violence and bullying. Many of the teachers are good which is why I gave the school two stars. However, the administration has lost control over the students. After my son was punched in the face, one administrator said 'boys will be boys.'

I have taught in many different counties and states along the east coast, and I must say that G.W. is one of the most supportive schools I have ever encountered. Our child's experience at G.W. has been fantastic. The staff is wonderful and helpfull, and actually care about each individual student. In speaking with the staff, students dont get extra credit for going to class! Our family hasnt experienced anything like the parent in the last posting, and frankly find it hard to believe.

If your student is not in the TAG curriculum he or she is in a class that is below the national average. That is substandard. The teachers are doing their best (for the most part) to teach to children with ranging ability, but are falling short because they are spending much of their time and energy with students who are disruptive, disrespectful and under echieving. On multiple occasions my son has reported that he was the only one who worked on a group project- and that some students get' extra credit' for coming to class! I am disapointed.
