Excellent school! The principals are amazing and do their absolute best to know each and every child individually. The teachers care about their students and make themselves easily available to contact them if ever I had a comment, question or concern. The school promotes school spirit and unity and is extremely clean and well kept. I feel safe sending my student there and feel that she is receiving a great education.

So far our overall experience has been good. Very minimal complaints pertaining to the staff but hoping this upcoming year is better.

All my 3 kids LOVE being at this school. We love the teachers and the principal Ms Shelly Dearinger. Great STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) program too. I've been with them for 5 years now and this school just keeps getting better and better!

This school is simply amazing. The school is properly equipped with 21st century technology enabling the students to learn in the real world. The principal is very approachable, hands on and has a sense of fun while maintaining high standards. The school has an involved parent base, another way of maintaining high standards and increased accountability for all. This is a school of choice, which you must apply to. I recommend applying if you want your child to attend the best academic school in the area.

Great School - The parents are very involved and everyone thinks the students are little prodigies!

This is a fabulous school and is the BEST school in the AV (not only opinion, but school /test scores prove it). A school of choice, so there is no busing and admittance is by lottery, which means MOST parents are concerned about their child's education that go out of their way to get their Children in, and are involved . Any parent that says "parents are too involved" is definitely a parent that should not be considered as a good parent, as you can NEVER be too involved in your child's education. My children LOVE this school and their A's in all subjects prove the quality of their education. I would Highly recommend this school for West Valley Residents .

Gregg Anderson Academy is a great choice for an elementary school in the Antelope Valley. This school is public school of choice, which is unique to this area. My daughter enjoyed all the various activities, clubs, and extra curricular opportunities presented to her in addition to the strong academic program put in place by a quality staff. The teachers go the extra mile to provide enrichment through STEM projects and the community involvement is superb.

My child started kindergarten at GAA & we had an amazing year with Mrs. Taylor. She was by far the best kinder teacher & we will miss her greatly as we move onto 1st grade. I think it's nice that the parents care at this school & I don't know anything about them only caring about scores because in kindergarten, there is no testing. So I give GAA 5 stars for giving my child a great first year of school. Hope it continues.
