George Washington School Reviews

 
This school is great is your child is struggling in being behind or an ESL child, but if your child is gifted or advanced in any way, or has a learning disability but smart, this is not the place to be. Great for 'no child left behind' but terrible for the child who is able to excel and push ahead. They won't even tell you about opportunities available for advanced children, even those with honors results on NYS exams. Very disappointing. 'Gifted and talented' is a term they refuse to use. IEP plans are frowned upon and discouraged. We had high hopes and are very disappointed. Sorry!

I have three children who went to GW, (and one more to go)... What a wonderful school! The principal, Dr. Klemm not only knows each child by name, but their parents, siblings and often even the grandparents! From this fantastic adminstrator and the caring, dedicated teachers and staff, I feel that each of my children has received the very best elementrary education!

GW is a great school! My child only attended one year (2nd grade) - because we moved into a differenct school district. But we were so impressed with this school!!! From his teacher, who took extra time to help him make significant improvements in his learning style - which brought his grades up, to the Principal. Dr. Klemm knows each and every student, and greets them - by name - every morning at drop off! There's a very diverse group of kids at the school and a strong sense of 'family' here. The faculty and staff truly care about the kids - wonderful environement!

I really have to thank GW for giving my 6 year old a head start! Her reading and writing skill won't be this good if we did not choose GW. The teachers at GW and Dr. Klemm are fantastic. They are so proud of what they do and most importantly having fun with each other. You always hear laughter in the hallway and that is priceless.

GW is a great school with motivated, talented teachers. Teachers are able to meet the needs of a diverse student body. Higher achieving students are appropriately challenged. The principal is phenomenal.

George Washinton Elementary is a very good school in my opinion. The principle, Dr. Klemm, is energetic, concerned and sincere. The academic offerings are quite complete. There is a learning facilitator for children with disabilities at any level, and a gifted level program called WINGS. 'English as a second language' programs are offered because of the high population of Spanish speaking families in White Plains. The faculty are generally very good with a good number that have been in the school for several years. Most of the sports programs are offered through the City and take place at the schools or parks. George Washington has a large music department. There is both an orchestra and a band, which give performances for school and family twice a year. Singing concerts and plays are also part of the department. The PTA has a strong presence at GW. Parents sponser several large events annually.

Fabulous school with a great and approachable principal who is knowledgeable, approachable, and very in touch with her student body. In addition to a 'homey' atmosphere, the school also offers a range of academic 'extras' like spanish lessons that make all the difference.

My daughter currently attends GWES. The principal is caring, active is all school events and knows each child by name. The PTA is great and all school events managed by the group are well attended. My daughter's kindergarten teacher is great. She is organized, thoughtful and keeps parents informed about what's going on in the class. EAch month, she issues a monthly letter which talks about what occurred in the class the past month and what to expect in the upcoming month. I believe that all the Kindergarten teachers share the common theme of making the Kindergarten experience fun but also academically challenging.
