Garces Memorial High School Reviews
Garces was great. Then the COVID pandemic hit and it was even better. They did not miss one day of instruction. They immediately started Zoom classes with a new dress code. It was amazing how they pivoted and kept the students learning.
As a result of Garces and obviously some other factors, my twins are doing well at Stanford University. Garces was a great choice for our family and I will always feel indebted.
