Garfield Elementary School
Garfield is an awesome school! Teachers are great and very dedicated in teaching. One teacher even spent extra hours teaching advance Math and English to students. I have a niece who is a proud Gator and will always remember the school cheer "respect yourself, respect others, respect the things around you!"
