I am not impressed with this school at all. The curriculum is all over the place instead of a structured setup that builds upon previous lessons. One day they'll study economics, the next day they'll study one of 5 different ways to do simple adding and subtracting, etc.

When my daughter got a severe illness and had to miss 2 weeks in a row, the teacher was upset and grumpy that she had missed so much school - but couldn't even tell me what they were studying in class, or provide a copy of any assignments that my daughter could try to make up at home. When pressed for details on what's being taught, the teachers don't seem to know what's going on. My child's math teacher sent out an email to parents that she "didn't believe in homework"... then, literally less than 2 weeks later, sent out another email that she changed her mind and students will now have daily homework. It genuinely seems like the teachers are just making things up as they go.

I am astonished at how sharply Gwinnett County's schooling integrity and quality has fallen. It was definitely not like this when I went to GCPS schools years ago. I'd also like to know what in the world the school is doing with their local tax dollars, because they keep trying to fundraise by having kids pay a dollar to wear a hat to school, asking parents to donate things like Kleenex, pencils, etc. They put a huge emphasis on teaching kids the importance of nutrition, then repeatedly serve nachos, pizza, hot dogs, etc.

Honestly, this school is a complete mess. Close Quote
