When I started my daughter at Great Lakes I initially loved the school. However that changed when my scholar and high scorer all of a sudden had over 20 plus days of absence while remote learning. My daughter was in school everyday on time participating, etc (I worked from home so I made sure she was in class everyday). So up until I transferred her this past June. The communication was horrible starting with the principal who never got back to me with his so call investigation. How can a student as smart as my daughter be absent those many days and have the grades and test scores she produced. Not only that but no teacher reached out ever if there was a attendance issue. Which let me know that Mr. Chavez who marked her absent consistently from what I was told by the principal clearly wasnt doing his job and taking attendance properly because how can you mark present students absent. Until this day I never received a reason or resolution to this issue. As a parent who has always been adamant about my childs attendance and education I her parent deserved a resolution with this error corrected instead of a inconsistent lie. I would never recommend any parent allow this to happen to their child. I dont recommend this school do to their lack of communication, professionalism, consistency, and resolution. Last I updated my childs address on two different times providing updated license and a current bill with the address they never updated it in the system and on her transfer the address was still showing our old address. I presented the information twice because they didnt update it the first time. It just shows inconsistencies that they definitely have to improve. I am happy she is at another school. She was so upset that her teacher had marked her absent her words to me was mommy I am always in classs why would my teacher tell a story on me. At that moment I chose to move her from that environment.

They all some goofies g and then tell me why they had male teachers having the kids numbers during quarantine so we can send him homework pictures Lori need to take this school off the map NOW and then had us sitting on the floor at dismissal we ain’t have no gym room nothing and then the teachers did the most over little small stuff during quarantine they would call parents over small stuff

Great school. The scholars are encouraged & challenged to become positive people who contribute to a healthy society. The staff is helpful and my scholar is particularly excited for school before and after.

The school is amazing! The parents are involved and welcomed. The teachers care about the well-being of the students and their education. We need more schools like this one.

Curriculum is up to date which is what I like. However, when my son first began here 4yrs ago I was promised a call every week from the teachers regarding his progress each year. Issue with that? Every year I got less and less calls until the point where I dont get any calls from my sons teacher he now has. They send them home with homework, but dont go over the homework in class. Just check to make sure its done. When brought to there attention that my son is struggling to comprehend/keep up I was told he couldnt get additional help unless he had a diagnosis from his doctor. Their pick up and drop off process is the WORST! Also charging $1 a minute as a pick up late fee. Hopefully your not low income because if you owe more than $25 in fees your child is held accountable by not being able to participate in the schools events/field trips. 3 tardies equals 1 absence but for some reason my son has 8 tardies on his report and some absences. So my guess is theyre holding him accountable in both categories. All I have to say is dont be fooled. If your child isnt an overachiever prepare for him/her to be just another face in the crowd, another number in there school. If your child is, great because just as any establishment that is looking for more revenue and make themselves look good the will definitely praise them and make sure they are the face of their school. Its funny I thought about my 3 close friends Ive recommended this school to and all 3 have already transferred their children to another neighborhood school (2 which have never moved addresses). This year, I plan to do the same. Its no wonder all the teachers at this school leave after being here only a year.

My son attends this school. He loves it and so do I!

Teachers and staff are super friendly and caring

It’s such a good school

No I hate it

Wonderful school and staff
