(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am a student at GPA and with the help of the staff at GPA have earned 2,000$ Haiti if your are a kid that is better with hands on learning and projects guajome is probably the best place to go. they do many community service projects which i enjoy such as beach clan up and other things. GPA is definitely a top notch school

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I like the no tolerence and every day curiculum. The kids use their everyday work in daily practical application. Also, they start in the 6th grade (mine did) and the teachers are familiar with the students (usually) all through the 12th grade. I am not comfortable with the community service program though. I often cannot afford to donate money, my health doesn't always permit me to volunteer. That doesn't seem fair when it affects possible college grants and etc..., Mostly, this is a pretty good school. Test scores for the county don't say much, but I see my child individually and her scores are through the roof as well as are her grades. Thank you GPA.
