Gainesville Exploration Academy
PMPDavis: I moved to Gainesville a year ago, and my child(1st grade) has been suspended every other week for simple things that should be handled professionally by educators that have degrees in childhood education and development. I have never dealt with such inexperienced school staff in my life. I am very disappointed with this school, and the Gainesville city school system as a whole. I would give them 0 stars, but I had to click at least one.
