Big gaming

It is very misleading to read poor scores and reviews at this school. Garfield is an amazing school. The kids get to do specialist in art, music, library and PE. every week. The specialist are an enriching wonderful part of their day and my kids find so much enrichment and joy in their experience with the specialists who clearly care and give all they have to the students. The staff are very responsive and involved in the care and well being of all the children. The principal is out regularly before and after school checking to make sure he knows the children's name and checks on their well being. I have spoken with many parents with kids at garfield and the feeling is similar with experience of appreciation and feeling fortunate to be at Garfield.

Two kids go to Garfield and they have love every minute. We also love the teachers and principal. The neighborhood is great too!

My experience at this school was a very poor one. My daughter attended kinder here and even though I like some of the kinder staff. The teachers are not supported by the principal and are left overworked and under appreciated. My daughter got bullied repeatedly by the same kid who bullied several others in their class. When it became physical bullying I went to the principal and he chose to dismiss it and seemed bothered I even came to him in the first place. If your considering this school and are readings these reviews, don't risk it, take your precious children to a school where the authority figures actually have authority and will take their jobs and your children's safety seriously.

Terrible. I shouldn't have to fear for the safety of my kid...
