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.
The school offers a good course selection for such a small class size. Most teachers are good at teaching- the math department is especially strong, but the science and english departments are not weak. The social studies department is by far the weakest.
Garfield has many great teachers that actually care about their subject and how much the students actually learn. Every time I asked for help my teacher came to help me in any way they knew how to. Given the option to change something about my school, I would change the lack of diversity as there are only 3 African Americans in my entire school.
