Acad of Our Lady of Good Counsel Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: other Quality Score: 3 2008-08-14 “Good Counsel's a great school that just radiates warmth from the teachers to the students to the campus. The staff are competent and involved; the facilities and technology, while not exactly a selling point, are workable; the community is close-knit. But the lack of selectivity is, by the sixth or seventh grade, really deplorable. Lots of kids end up slowed down by new students with not-so-great records, and it really ruins the feel of the class. Don't get me wrong: there are lots of things to glow about when it comes to Good Counsel, and nobody who leaves it doesn't miss it. No one is ever neglected or forgotten -- just sometimes left a little unchallenged. At worst, it's worth at least a visit before you decide it's not the place for you.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-07-15 “I would have rated this school above average back in 2004 when my first child began. However, 2007 my second child entered and I was so dissappointed in the 4th grade. New teacher and new students all entered at that point and unfortunately ruined everything. It was a great school though and I cant complain because it has gotten our foot into an even better school. The schools reputuation precedes the child and they are well known. The campus is quaint and old fashioned just as I like them. Small classes are the secret weapon of this school. But I wish they were a little more selective if you are entering 3rd and up. Some bad habits after that are too hard to change and ruins a class that was together since Kindergarten and were reared and taught in a different fashion.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-01-11 “My children love their school. There is a solid sense of community and the teachers are dedicated and inspiring. I am, however, disappointed in the classrooms. Aside from the main building, the classrooms are ill-equip and small. The art room is literally held in a hallway, there is no formal music room, and the rooms that house the library and the computer lab are quite small. I am amazed that the teachers of the arts are able to do their jobs so proficiently despite their surroundings. The buildings are beautiful and full of history, but they are not suitable classrooms. Having said this, I will continue to send my children there and aside from the space issues, my children and I are proud to be a part of the GCA family.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-05-31 “My children have received a solid education this 2005/2006 school year. My wish is that the school taught Spanish instead of French, and that more of the teachers have more experience in the classroom. However, our overall experience has been good.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 5 2005-10-12 “This school is the best ever! The teachers make laerning fun and I know because I went there. I stsrted when I was in Kindergarten and went through 8th grade. I loved every second of it and would do it again in a New York second!”
