[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son just finished Kindergarten at GM.  We love the school.  Almost all the neighborhood kids go to the local school and there is a wonderful community feeling there.  You see all the kids and parents walking together for drop-off and pick-up, everyone smiles at each other and says hello.  The PTA seems supportive and involved.  I have full faith in the teachers my son had.  He came out of his first year there knowing how to read independently, and being very interested in science due to Ms. Nelson, the science teacher.  Whenever I had questions or issues both the principal and the teacher were very responsive.  Yes, there are several bus loads of students that come from poorer areas into the school.  From my kid's description of his class, the "walkers" as he calls them (who are located close enough to walk, in the more expensive houses) were just as disruptive or likely not to follow the rules as the "bus riders" (who are more likely to come from the poorer areas).  Luckily, I look at diversity as a positive.  I wouldn't want my kids in classes just with the people who live in the square half mile around the school.  That's not representative of the people they will meet in their lives.[/quote]
