[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’d say GAS isn’t far behind. They’ve laid off teachers more than once due to their situation - I was one of them several years ago. They currently do not have an 8th grade class. 
They rented the MS out to Diener to stay afloat, but they are now gone - and they’re MS is the smallest it’s been ever. People seem to like the new HoS, moreso than the last 2-3. lol. There’s been a lot of turnover there.

I would have a hard time investing any faith in a future at GAS if I had a young student. They are a mini version of SSFS. [/quote]

The eighth grade thing is being blown out of proportion, they don't have an eighth grade this year but so what. All schools sometimes have bigger or smaller grades some years. The new HoS has been making things better all the time. The money from Diener is kept. As someone who has had children attending both Green acres and SSFS, Gas is absolutely not a mini version of SSFS, which has been crumbling for years. GAS is staying open.
Please don't speak on these things until you are more qualified.[/quote]

"Our retention of 7th graders was 0% but so what."[/quote]

I can tell you it's not a retention issue or the quality of the program. It was specific to that year. But that's a detail no one will tell you because they can't.[/quote]

What would be the current 8th grade class was cursed from the beginning.

By 1st grade kids were leaving.

And then more left.  And more exited each year until there weren’t enough kids for an 8th grade class.

It was a complete anomaly.

Thank you. "Anomaly" is the perfect word for it.

Green Acres is a fabulous school![/quote]
