We eventually withdrew him from his local public school and found GFA. It worked out really well. He found a great group of friends and was academically challenged. The teachers really cared about him and despite its small size, there were enough extra curriculars and clubs to keep him engaged. I strongly recommend this school if the public school is not a good fit for your child or you are looking for them to be challenged. The Teachers go out of their way to create classes to meet the needs of the students, and the results and college acceptances prove that.

The Governor French Academy (GFA) is a wonderful academic institution. The individualized…read moreinstruction the children receive coupled with the wide variety of topics covered, makes for an outstanding environment for young minds. The staff are knowledgable, kind and helpful and are focused on the education of children. We have been pleasantly surprised with how well GFA is run and how well our daughter is learning and growing. The school is top notch and we would recommend it to anyone in the area as a first class education program for all school aged children.

When I went to HS in Missouri I was ahead of my class. But how they treat students who are different? Terrible. The bullying is out of hand. I've seen a kid get bullied for being black, and I was called the D slur on multiple occasions just for cutting my hair short. When I told a teacher? Nothing happened. It's terrible. They have the promise to be a great school, but it isn't unless you're a white kid who has nothing different about them. It ruined my whole experience growing up. I have to admit, there was some good teachers, ones who actually cared. Maybe 10% of them. If you want to risk your kid getting bullied for their years, go right on ahead, but I'd NEVER take my kid here. Unless they change something, and take bullying more seriously here, it's just a horror show for the kids.
