The staff and put council were nothing but kind and gracious to all of us, and on the whole I am happy with our school district and the efforts that they put in to help keep things moving in the right direction for our children.

The staff is rude & need training again…read more I work with kids & it's clear a lot of the staff need up to date training on handling & speaking to children. The staff think the kids can't remember or won't repeat what's being done at school. My son has went to this school for 2 years & since day 1 he has experience different treatment than the "white kids" receive. He complained about being yelled at, asked "why you can't do it & the other kids can!" & being forced to complete his lunch after stating his full!!!

Circling back to discuss the "lack of rigor" from another poster. I am a public school educator…read more Many of the teachers here previously taught in the public school system, such as one who taught for 20 years in LAUSD. The rigor is there. The staff emails all the time and answers emails quickly without needing to set up appointments--that's a HUGE difference than public school. What GCS does better than public schools is give grace--late work is accepted, retesting is often offered, and more. The funny thing is, this is an equity issue that many public districts are just now doing--LBUSD and LAUSD both offer these now. GCS has been doing this for YEARS because it's part of the praxis of Christianity--if you can have a second chance, they'll give it to you. So thankful to be part of the GCS community. I never thought we'd be private school people, but Covid changed that. Now I see the huge difference between public and private education--and I teach in a public school.

It is shocking to me that Mrs. Summers still works at this school and really disheartening to read…read morethe other review about her. I am a grown adult now and can look back and see the ways that some teachers really take advantage of the fact that children do not have the capabilities to defend themselves. I remember many instances of abusive language and outright racism towards me (one of the only Asian students in a primarily white classroom.) I remember an extremely problematic comparison of Asians to Jews when explaining why "people didn't like Jews." I remember her calling me the dumbest smart person she had ever met and treating me like my successes mattered less than the ones of my white classmates. I remember her yelling in class, and I remember her making me cry many times. I am a teacher myself now and am horrified that this was ever allowed. I am horrified that she still works there. People like this should not be allowed to be around children. I hope she finds a different line of work.

This review has been triggered by the art teacher, "Swihart." I've been told she prefers no pronouns. Lo and behold a month in and she has already lectured my child's class on how they can't judge a person's gender on how they look. Apparently, a student made a comment about a video the teacher chose to show the class, where a girl looked more like a "boy." I was told by my child, she pulled that student out to the hall for a talking to and then a few days later made a point to lecture the whole class on what they can't do when it comes to assuming someone's gender. Why can't we just stick to art, this is why so many people pull their students out of public school, because teachers take advantage of the authority they've been given and feel the need to indoctrinate. I'm all about freedom, believe what you want and please give our students the same freedom to have their own beliefs without intimidation. On a more positive note, the other five teachers have been wonderful. Even the art teacher, I don't believe she is terrible if she could be less about control and give the students the same freedoms she wants to enjoy. From a student's prospective, my child really enjoys art but no longer feels comfortable in this class so now they don't plan to take art for the remainder of middle school. Unfortunate because she is a good Art teacher. Please don't infringe on our freedom of religion, which teaches my family about what to believe when it comes to gender.
