This is the most horrible school in tampa it does not even deserve 1 star it deserves half a star…read more And the school stole my kids fidget spinner and did not give them back my son asked for the fidget spinner and the teacher said wait till the end of the day no kid gonna be thinking about a fidget spinner at the end of the there gonna be thinking about getting out of that horrible place you guys call school and there have been lots people fighting and my son took a video of roaches crawling all over a teachers desk the teachers also want to get your kids in trouble they call for the dumbest reasons its like what you want me to do ground you because you were late to a class thats across the other side of the school no way and there are people always stealing someone stole my kids phone twice i had buy him two phones this year and the teachers are like "well your kid shouldnt leave it in your back pack and always keep it close to you" but i dont how because the teachers tell you to take your bookbag off and place it behind your seat im so glad my kids not going there for 8th grade im switching his schools and its going to not be broke to were it cant even afford cameras so if a kid gets in trouble the teachers just believe the one that has a better record which i think is bull my sons friend had a recording of someone one messing with him so he pushed him back off of him and then that that leaded to a fight so the other kid that was messing with him did not get in trouble because his record was better my kid had to beg me not to go to school with him to beat the crap of that kid so in final conclusion this school sucks.

Probably the worst decision I've made as a parent was putting my daughter in this school. Please…read moreparents, if you're thinking of this school, don't. They would be better off getting their education in public school. The sports? Bad. Clubs? Bad. Teachers? The turn around is insane. No reason a kid should have multiple teachers in all in one year. Started the year off meeting and learning the styles of a few teachers and ended up with complete different ones before the 2nd semester even started. Kids? Not nice. Teacher response? Completely non-existent.

Heaven help your child if they are being bullied. I have had COUNTLESS emails/phone…read morecalls/conferences throughout the years and NOTHING has changed. They don't have a guidance counselor for kids to go to, they don't have a designated nurse either. I don't think anyone has called me or emailed me ever about something happening TO my child but they sure do reach out if she does something wrong. They go through teachers like crazy! In one year my child had 4 DIFFERENT math teachers! 4!!!! How is my child supposed to thrive like this?! They don't have an indoor lunch room for the children either! Try to get an understanding of what the kids are learning? Good luck! No agendas, no weekly communication, nothing. My child has tried harming herself and had to be put in therapy because of the bullying she has received at this school! I am fed up. Please, please if you love your children DO NOT PUT THEM IN THIS SCHOOL.

love the security and the fact that our kids get a break away from the phones like it should beread more

I asked the admin to add someone for pick up and she clearly stated I should have done that when I enrolled him. Well things change all the time and this was one of them! On top of that I asked to exchange his uniforms for smaller ones and was told they don't do exchanges, and that's why they recommend the child be present when you buy them,,,,,,so basically he should miss a day of school because your too lazy to exchange shirts, I think not!!! I can say the VP was very friendly and helpful and they should have more staff like him. I pray the rest of the year isn't going to be so negative!

Not every child is a perfect fit at a school, whether charter, private or public, that is just…read morefacts. With that stated first, let me say this secondly, GCS has been an amazing school. We came to GCS during his high school portion, and what a change it has been for him, on the highest of praise. The school has been attentive towards his educational needs, social interactions as well as tending to all the students and faculty spiritually. We were not sure how he/me was going to adjust but seeing all the friends, his grades improving and how the school really comes together as a family, it was one of the best transitions that we could have ever asked for. Barry and Becky McKeen really have a tight handle on the school, and the interaction/level they have with the parents and students is VERY impressive. I highly suggest that if you have not looked into GCS for your child, that you begin to do so...if there is room. You will be happy for all that GCS will provide for you and your child(ren).
