What school district is Gold Hill Elementary School part of?
I am in Middle after going to this place. The kids were ok. There aren't really any fun activities like in the other schools in the area my friends tell me. They got. There was a teacher there that creeped my brother and my sister out. My dad told people but the principal wouldn't do anything. She still creeps my brother out. One time I got hurt by a teacher, and no one would help me or do anything. He had a bad temper and screams at people too. I am behind and have to get lots of help in middle school. GHES wouldn't help me. My parents tried but my grades were ok so I couldn't get help. I really had trouble in middle school because then I was really doing bad. My friends elementary schools were better. But my middle school is good now.
