| 10/29/2012 | parent | This school is SO focused in special needs children. 47% of the total school population (665 students) have special needs. That's VERY LARGE. So I pulled my child out of this school. The test scored are VERY low. I think that the school is for students who are for students who are either at-risk or special needs. This make the school look bad. |
| 5/6/2012 | parent | This school has a LARGE SPECIAL EDUCATION POPULATION. I advise any parent of a special needs child to send their child here. |
| 11/17/2011 | other | well i went to this school as a kid and i think it was a awsum place..I have always said that going there gave me a great outlook on life.Because i have cereble palsly i had always felt like i didnt belong, like there was on one i could relate to, but there my eyes was opened to soo many other people with my same condition and all type of other conditions,but at Gaenslen we were all the same.p.s. the teachers were great some of the best ive ever had.

| 8/1/2008 | teacher | Gaenslen has a group of extremely dedicated people working with children who have many special needs. Staff is constantly striving to give their students the best education possible. Test results should not be the only factor used to rate a school since tests are not written for all children to show success. |
| 2/7/2008 | parent | I put above average because the tests used do not show that this is a school with a large special needs and English as a Second language school. My son is THRIVING here because they are one of the better set up schools for challenged kids. |
