Garrett Elementary is the worst school that I have ever dealt with in my entire life, and I'm 42yrs old. I have 3 kids and all have attended other schools in the district. I wouldn't reccommend them to keep my dog and love my kids much more than him. They are very prejudice and has employees that are very disrespectful. They expect your child to come to school sick. So I'm guessing they are not concerned with the well-being of the other students. My kid has been within the school district for some time now and I promise, this the worst of the elementary schools that I have experienced. PERIOD!!! Close Quote
