Worst School ever. The principle and staff are so rude and mean to the kids and parents. The bus driver is rude too and yells at the students.

This is a wonderful school. My daughter loves it. She learning alot and they make it fun for her. They also have classes and events for parents to help us get more involved, to us know what we need to do the help our kids at home and at school and how to look after our childrens safety. I was disappointed when only a few showed but the classes are worth it.

I have been blessed to have three children attend CGE. In the years of transition of new principals, CGE has continued to strive and grown stronger each year. The teachers are caring, fun yet firm and expect great behavior and get it from the children. The school is clean and maintained. The Parent Involvement is amazing! There are tons of opportunities to help and be involved. Teachers welcome parents to their classrooms to make copies, read to children, and help with other assignments. You couldn't ask for a better school.
