GBAverage Education Don't feel safe driving to and from school... The school needs to have more safety signs, signal anything that help promote safety!!! SAFETY should be the schools number one goal.

GBKindergarten-8th Grade Schools Aren't Always a Good Idea I have learned after 4 years that I don't much care for schools that include kids kindergarten-8th grades. They tend to lump them all together very often, but speak to everyone as if everyone is in 1st grade. I think as kids grow into teenagers, they need to feel 'individualized' more and have opportunities to be themselves and not feel like 'little kids', which I feel a K-8 school makes them feel like. I don't believe NHA teachers are any better than those of public schools, however I do believe that experiences for the kids are better because parents tend to be more involved/concerned, having enrolled their child(ren) there instead of public schools, where trouble tends to happen more often due to troubled home lives.

GBI was a student there for 9 years I was a student there for 9 years, and the abuse was horrific. I didn't realize how bad it was until I left to go to high school and all of the things I expected were unimaginable by my peers. I was absolutely destroyed mentally and emotionally, and their "better academics" actually put me behind my peers. Keep in mind, I was in all of their advanced classes and only got high A's. It's two and a half years later, and I'm still reeling. If you care about your child at all, especially if you're not a white christian, choose a different school. Much of their curriculum is purely unscientific, and their discipline is ludicrously harsh. They also frequently go out of their way to discourage any friendships forming. I could go into much more depth on all the traumas me and my peers endured, but I can sum it all up fairly well in one story. My grandfather had died the previous night, and I started crying in class. I was promptly brought to the principal's office and yelled at for disrupting class, and the two friends I had were given detention for trying to console me. I was 11. In addition, since the teachers were bullies too, they played favorites with them. They would sit by and watch their favorite students pummel the disabled kids,then only step in once the disabled kids fought back.

GBChallenge advanced students? Good school but not confident they will customize a learning plan for students who are advanced in some subjects.
