I used to go to this school and I have been very impressed the teachers appear to know what they are doing and the arts are amazing. I loved it there.

Garrison Elementary School
My child is in kindergarten and I couldn't be happier with the school as a whole and our teacher. Our teacher is extremely organized and my child is very happy and doing very well. I've recommended this school to many other parents. There are ~ 800 kids in the school, so I can't speak for everyone's experience, but we've been more than satisfied.

School changed to a K-8 magnet school for visual and performing arts 2 years ago. they are completely disorganized and only seem to think the middle school students mean anything. the elementary age children are an afterthought. as a parent I am looking for other options to send my child.
