We just love Garden City School! We've had our children going there since 2001. It is like sending your children to private school for free. They are known by first name by most all teachers. Children love that. They have fun children activities throughout the year that parents are encouraged to participate with and are welcome to come see. They motivate all the children to be the best that YOU can be, not to judge themselves by other childrens accomplishments.I drive my children to and from school everyday for the past almost 10 years with no regrets. I tell people about Garden City every chance I get. Its just a great little schoolhouse.
Thank you for your time.
Proud parent of 1 former student and 2

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
