Ghent Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-09-09 “i love it! the teachers are great” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-05-10 “high academic standards, great kids, dedicated teachers. a great alternative to the district schools in norfolk. however, research on my norfok district school, shows better test-scores and a higher rating among parents.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-11-18 “Academics and moral standards are impressive.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-06-25 “The qualities of academics, oversight and vision of administration, and ability of staff make this school the best in Norfolk.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-06-20 “I just want to add that the sibling rule has changed. Sadly, a younger sibling in not guaranteed acceptance at Ghent with their older sibling. A lottery is used now, children are picked randomly. Ghent is a great school, but this is devastating parents who were hoping their children would be together. They were told when their older child started that their younger child would be automatically accepted. Something to think about if you have more than one child.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-05-22 “My family has a very long history with Ghent School. The school's curriculum falls in the category of public schools guidelines; however what makes Ghent an exceptional public school is the teacher/staff support, teaching abilities, tactics, and involvement.The parent involvement level is extremely high. The school does lack extracurricular activities; however it is made up with great academic performance as well as hands on and field trip experencies that highly beneficial to the students. Ghent is an above-average public school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-08-24 “Highly focussed institution. The teachers care and probe the students to learn. Concepts taught to think out of the box and so critical thinking is developed. Art and music programs are available.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-02-18 “Ghent has been a great school for my 3 children. They offer Middle School if your child is excepted. Once you have one sibling there, other siblings automatically can attend both elementary and middle school. It lacks middle school sports, which I am told they are working on. Teacher turn over is low and the teachers there takes an honest interest in your child's progress not just academically, but socially also. They stress all academics and offer very strong instruction in the language arts area.”
