"As a long time employee of GW School, I continue to be amazed at the dedication and untold hours of work that the teachers give to the school and students. All of the teachers not only contribute their time, but they contribute on a personal and financial level in order to give students the best possible education. Students are cared for, held accountable, and praised for making good choices. Under the leadership and guidance of the new principal this year, this school will continue to be one of the top performing schools in Orange County. We have challenging programs, excellent leadership, and caring staff!"

"Second year in this school, ratio is high 34 kids in my 1 grade, way too high for 6-7 y old. If we do not have enough money in Orange co to support our schools...who does then??? Work more at home with kids,all I can say for now. On a positive note a new Principal is a God's messenger, great guy, smart and know to LISTEN to the parents, parents let support him and our public education to the max!!!"

"The principal and teachers are great. The 30+ students to teacher ratio for the lower grades is the main reason that we will not be returning to this school this fall. I volunteer weekly and have seen how little time the kids are engaged in productive learning. The traffic for drop off and pick up are also very hectic."

"George White has excellent test scores and highly qualified and motivated teachers. It also has terrific parent/community support, which an active PTA and Booster Club on campus. Recent additions/upgrades to the school include a new science lab, new computer lab, and school garden."

"We transferred to GW from another CUSD school and we could not be happier with the decision to go to this school. The principal is so caring and he interacts with the students. The teachers seem to teach with pride at this school rather than complaining about thier jobs which was the case at our old school. Parent involvment is high. The students, parents, and staff all seem to be happy. My kids love it here."
