It would be difficult to overstate the magnitude of the positive experience our family has had with…read morethis school. The teachers are highly experienced and do a stellar job in developing a thorough knowledge of each child allowing for an individualized approach to learning and development. In addition to an exemplary academic curriculum, the school places a high priority on social/emotional learning with emphasis on such concepts as kindness, equality, self-advocacy, mutual respect, and stewardship. Having chaperoned some of the field trips, we can say that they are truly exceptional in providing the students with outstanding opportunities for experiential learning to augment the classroom lessons. One of the standout aspects of this school for our family has been the overall sense of community with an atmosphere of inclusion and a warm welcome for all. We wholeheartedly give NGFS our highest recommendation.

By sixth grade, my daughter had become deeply depressed at NGFS, and we were genuinely concerned…read morefor her mental health. Her early years were positive--she loved the Rainbow program, and we are especially grateful to Beth, who helped her develop a love of reading despite auditory processing challenges. Unfortunately, things changed significantly as she got older. In fourth grade, a tick bite during the week-long school trip was egregiously mishandled--whether due to a lack of protocol or a failure to follow one, the result is that she now lives with chronic Lyme disease. Our family has paid nearly $30,000 out-of-pocket for medical treatment, in addition to the high tuition we had already invested in the school. Academically, she was ahead in math, but when we advocated for her to take Math 1 in seventh grade, NGFS flat-out refused to consider it. After transferring to Greensboro Montessori, she was placed in Math 1 and earned a 96. She went on to earn As in each subsequent math course and is now in a senior-level math class as a 10th grader. Clearly, she was more than capable--she just needed a school willing to meet her where she was. My daughter ultimately asked to leave because she felt isolated and alienated. Although the school promotes inclusivity, she quickly realized this didn't seem to apply to students like her. When she tried to assert healthy boundaries with peers, she was often reprimanded--not for what happened, but for how she expressed herself. Ongoing micro-bullying from peers was never meaningfully addressed, even after I raised concerns. She thrived at Greensboro Montessori in 7th and 8th grade, where we found the environment far more supportive and attentive to real inclusivity. She is now thriving at Grimsley High School, where she has a 504 plan in place to support her health. To be fair, NGFS has a strong writing curriculum in the later elementary years, and my daughter's writing skills like owe much to those foundational years. But it's hard to reconcile that benefit with the emotional and physical toll she experienced. If I had to do it all over again, I would have moved her by third grade.

My son went there from 3rd to 4th. The 4th grade teacher, Mr. Steele(Never took the time to learn…read morethe bastard's full name) was a piece of work. He flipped my sons desk for no apparent reason, blamed him for pulling someone's pants down in the bathroom even though he was in the classroom the entire time and even after the person who did it even told him he had did it, would grab him around the arm hard to pull him around. Worst part is, my son barely did anything. The worst he had done was go out of the recess section or leave trash because of hornets. He also gave him over a thousand sentences for passing-gas. He was lactose and one of his classmates gave him a chocolate bar. The final nail in the coffin was the fact that they were going to expel my son, for something that his fellow classmates said he did. My son said fudge and they said he said fuck. I explained to them what my son had actually said and told them everything Mr. Steele had done but they still sided with him. So I took him out. Would not recommend. Unprofessional and rude. Tuition is too high. Also, one last piece of information, during teacher-parent conferences, he would talk behind a boy named Chance's parents back, and talk about how if he didn't take his meds he would rolling around on the floor and jumping off the walls. No one should ever talk about a mentally disabled child like that. Ever.

Bad attitudes from 4th and fifth grade teachers and a few other teachers over picky little things, like snacks, where to park, which keeps changing, etc. Bathrooms are grungy! Whole school needs a scrub down! No principal, sinking ship! They just put an eight grade teacher in place as principal to act like they have one. Many parents do not even think she qualifies enough in experience and degrees to be a principal. They just promoted a friend. They lie to parents. They never really found a principal, so they just put a friend in school in place fast to hush parents up. No leadership, they make rules as they go, change parking rules three or more times a year infuriating parents, teachers and priests leaving in the past two to three years. Dysfnctional! Getting out of here fast!!!!

My son had a game against this school yesterday 10/25, and I am utterly disappointed in the way the…read morestudents and family members of the school acted. It's such a shame that this is a Catholic school and the students and their families behaved the way they did. Not only were they yelling inappropriate things from the stands at our team, a racial remark was made to my other son by a group of students he walked by, when going to get a blanket out of our vehicle for me. Not only does this school need to teach the students the core values that children learn in elementary school such as; kindness, respect, integrity and diversity. The also need to teach them about racism and the ignorance surrounding that. To make a very rude comment to a young man that was only walking to his car, was very cowardice and ignorant. Because those students were in a group, and I know for a fact had they desperately been alone, or had my son been in a group, the comment would have never gotten made. So whoever is the Director over Bishop McGuinness High School, your students have the right name: Villians. Because that's exactly what they acted like. Do a better job at directing these kids. Because they as well as their parents and families should have known better. Such a disgrace.
