GBA lot of changes need to be made We continue to be frustrated with a lot of issues. There is a lack of effective communication from teachers, there is poor disciplinary action for the kids that are really troubled, yet others that have small infractions are receiving detention or their clips are constantly moved over minute things, taking away from their learning. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH RECESS or time for the kids to be moving around!! Humans are not meant to sit quietly all day! The school is becoming like a prison, and doesn't foster an effective and happy learning environment. Mrs. Newby is very unapproachable and seems to be more concerned about administration than helping the children learn and grow. Liam dreads going to school every day, and it is heartbreaking. We are trying to be as positive as possible with him, but it's wearing thin for all of us. We are currently looking for a better option for school for Liam.

GBschool The staff and administration are very friendly and open.

GBMoral focus, academic excellence, parental involvement, student accountability Teachers work close with you to ensure best possible learning your student is capable of. Happy they teach the four pillars mentioned above.

GBDisappointed and deeply concerned My son attended East Arbor this fall and we have just registered him elsewhere. As attentive, caring and compassionate as some teachers are, neither Ms. Newby or Ms. Wilson seemed to lack those qualities. They seemed uninterested and slow in looking for other resources to help him emotionally. (I didn't realize until 2 weeks ago, when I scheduled a meeting, that there were other resources.) It is very disappointing and upsetting. The new school has been very warm, friendly and welcoming to him. They are aware of his situation and already have a plan in place when he starts on the 4th. Something, we did not experience at East Arbor.
