The kids do not care if they hurt your feelings or make u cry at all. Though I only been here for 2 months I have a good list of the good and bad teachers. The home ec program is so so good. The teacher Mrs. harpist is prob the most nicest teacher u will meet in campus. She does not give homework but just easy quizzes that are easy to take. If you hear other people saying that she is mean is because they prob to not pay attention in class or can not go one day without cussing at people. The only problem abt taking this class is that it is a half semester class and you will have to take woodshop next semester and the woodshop teacher is not the nicest . There is a rule that we are not allow to use our phones at school hours, but I have 8th grade friends that said last year they were allow to use it before and after school hours which is not bad. The school care so much about these little issues but ignore the bullying. There was a girl that took her life due to bullying and her parents have an account abt the neglect she got, which is crazy to me because they also have signs abt mh and encourage kids to talk to their teacher or councilors if they are struggling but most teacher say school is the first priory. There is also allegations abt teacher being weird and creepy. Steve Graves is a very good example. though i never had him i think it is crazy how he is been a teacher here working with kids after what he did to that 16 year old girl. I heard many stories abt him telling girls to pull their skirts or shirts for extra credit which is very shocking. Another teacher Mr day was caught watching po*n in class. I'm guessing this is very normal in AUHSD because there has been many reports of student-teacher relationships. The only thing I like abt the school is they don't care. Yes i know that is bad because there is alot of bullying going on ,but I can lowkey do what i want at lunch and the supervisors pretend they are blind in there right eye and 67% on their left so yea...ima update in a few months if i see other things

The staff and put council were nothing but kind and gracious to all of us, and on the whole I am happy with our school district and the efforts that they put in to help keep things moving in the right direction for our children.

Circling back to discuss the "lack of rigor" from another poster. I am a public school educator…read more Many of the teachers here previously taught in the public school system, such as one who taught for 20 years in LAUSD. The rigor is there. The staff emails all the time and answers emails quickly without needing to set up appointments--that's a HUGE difference than public school. What GCS does better than public schools is give grace--late work is accepted, retesting is often offered, and more. The funny thing is, this is an equity issue that many public districts are just now doing--LBUSD and LAUSD both offer these now. GCS has been doing this for YEARS because it's part of the praxis of Christianity--if you can have a second chance, they'll give it to you. So thankful to be part of the GCS community. I never thought we'd be private school people, but Covid changed that. Now I see the huge difference between public and private education--and I teach in a public school.

This review has been triggered by the art teacher, "Swihart." I've been told she prefers no pronouns. Lo and behold a month in and she has already lectured my child's class on how they can't judge a person's gender on how they look. Apparently, a student made a comment about a video the teacher chose to show the class, where a girl looked more like a "boy." I was told by my child, she pulled that student out to the hall for a talking to and then a few days later made a point to lecture the whole class on what they can't do when it comes to assuming someone's gender. Why can't we just stick to art, this is why so many people pull their students out of public school, because teachers take advantage of the authority they've been given and feel the need to indoctrinate. I'm all about freedom, believe what you want and please give our students the same freedom to have their own beliefs without intimidation. On a more positive note, the other five teachers have been wonderful. Even the art teacher, I don't believe she is terrible if she could be less about control and give the students the same freedoms she wants to enjoy. From a student's prospective, my child really enjoys art but no longer feels comfortable in this class so now they don't plan to take art for the remainder of middle school. Unfortunate because she is a good Art teacher. Please don't infringe on our freedom of religion, which teaches my family about what to believe when it comes to gender.
