Mr. and Mrs. Fountain:
GBEast Arbor is a great school!! I am a mother of two students attending East Arbor and my kids are being challenged academically and socially, to be the best they can be. The staff are always pleasant, easy to talk to as well as very accessible. The new principal is engaging, always visible and all the kids know exactly who she is. This school is a family environment and I encourage any parent who's looking for a well-rounded school for their child, to come and check out East Arbor Academy!!

GBEast Arbor Fan The teachers are friendly and my daughter enjoys going to school. My first teachers conference the teacher spent a lot of time with us explaining her concern. Now we are working together to keep my daughter on track.

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.

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.
