Teacher BJ and her assistants are extremely patient, kind and understanding. Our son has truly learned a lot this year.

This is the worst school I have ever had to deal wit. It used to be tolerable but now that they have this new "principal" it is terrible. My kids are not thriving. They could care less about the kids that are advanced or delayed. My daughter has been asking for homework from her teacher and after an entire semester still no homework. She is bored and doesn't want to go to school. They routinely send my children to the wrong release line and the teachers are, to put it nicely, a challenge to work with.

My son attends Grant school's special education Emotional Growth Center (EGC). They are FANTASTIC with his special needs. The teacher texts me with questions, and calls me at any hour if I have questions or concerns. The IEP team has been supportive.

My review may be a bit different as I am not a parent of a student attending Grant, but rather a former student myself. Granted, this was thirteen years ago, but of all my academic career, the year I spent at Grant (4th grade) was the best of them all! I really loved the bilingual system and it actually ended up really helping me once I entered junior high and high school and began taking Spanish. The Spanish I learned at Grant put me way ahead of my peers. While I'm not fluent, I know enough Spanish to pass as bilingual, and this has allowed me to get jobs I wouldn't have gotten otherwise (it's a requirement to be a nurse at Salem hospital). So to anyone who isn't quite sure about it yet, you might want to consider the area you're living in first before pulling your kid out. We live in an area with a very high Hispanic population, so learning Spanish at a young age would not be a bad thing at all.
