My son just completed Kindergarten at Gay Avenue Primary. I started the year with a very poor attitude about Gladewater school district, but the year turned out to be a wonderful experience for both my son and myself. The teachers are wonderful and caring and the administrative staff is amazing. You can definitely tell that the staff at Gay care deeply about the children. I just wish some of the parents in our community would show as much concern as the staff does. If the parents and community began to work with the schools, I think our little town could be beyond great.

Two of my children attended this school, my youngest daughter attended from Pre-K thru 1st. I was extremely disappointed with the teacher excluding the first, Her Pre-K teacher. Kindergarten and 1st grade teachers were in my opinion, lazy and lacked any motivation to pursue their full potential. I regret sending my kids there because the precious time was absolutely wasted. I now homeschool my daughter because of her gifted status, that the educational staff failed to provide challenge for. I am far from qualified for teaching and am so sad the the persons who are qualified would not give her what she deserved. Plans to move in favor of a better school are in the works now. Such a disappointment.
