Most teachers are involved and very good at their job. Our sports players are very good. Arts need more funding. Lots of academic opportunities. Connections to Maplewood and BioMed. CCP, DC, and AP opportunities.
James A. Garfield is a small school in a small town. Many close rivals, giving great entertainment sports-wise. The school allows for more one-on-one interactions when students need/want it.
The thing I like best about James A. Garfield is the close-knit connections the students are able to have with their teachers and peers. Since the community is small everyone pretty much knows one another, and the teachers not only act as educators but also as mentors to a lot of the students. They are all very kind and willing to help any student in need, whether it's with homework or problems at home. I wouldn't really change anything about my school aside from the coursework. I would like to see more AP or CCP classes offered in school, but I know that can be hard due to teachers needing to go back to school for a higher degree in order to teach those types of classes and some may not have the time or money to do so.
