Garfield Elementary School

Fantastic environment for kids! Great teachers and staff!

Very great school ! My daughter has learned so much from the staff there.

Basically, extended family!nMy daughter always feels very welcome when she goes to visit (now 14)! And my son is nurtured in many ways more than just academically (which I value)! Garfield elementary teaches compassion, respect, caring and many other characteristics that are valued!nI could not ask for a better environment for my child/ren.nMr. Bowman and his staff are by far the BEST!

Our oldest daughter (now 11) attended Garfield School from kindergarten through third grade (2007-2011).nnLooking back on the decision to leave Garfield in order to be closer to my family in the time they have left, I regret the decision to leave. The children would have been far better off staying in Garfield School and never seeing their grandparents again.nnGarfield is not a wealthy school. It is not, perhaps, a scintillatingly high-achieving school. It is, however, a school that is truly there to serve its students-- a place where all learn, all belong, and all succeed.nnMy children now attend a wealthy, highly-ranked Eastern public school. At Garfield, I felt as if the teachers and administration were part of the team raising my kids. At our fine new school, I feel as if the teachers and administration are raising my kids, and I am not welcome to be part of the process.nnIf I could go back to Garfield, I would be packing right now. Best doggone school in the country, if you ask me.

Best staff ever. my kid loves it
