Great education and great athletics. They've had issues over the years but it is worth it for the education. No high school is perfect.
Great education and great athletics. They've had issues over the years but it is worth it for the education. No high school is perfect.
Gulliver is a fantastic school!! I attended Gulliver from 1st through 12th Grade - and it provided a strong educational foundation that continues today. The teachers remain committed to providing an outstanding education to their students, and I highly recommend this school.
Looks like they're not familiar with Equal Opportunity!
Great teachers, athletics and academics overall great
Students at Gulliver pay over $30,000 a year to attend what is supposed to be a top-tier institution. However, as a result of the overcrowding, students have extremely limited parking, have to sit on the floor of the gymnasium (which has been filled far beyond fire safety standards) during assemblies, have had increasing class sizes, and lack of seating during lunch periods.
Gulliver has not done anything to remedy these issues. In fact, every large improvement to campus facilities has been funded by donation. For a school that claims to be a "non-profit," it is very suspicious that a minimal amount of their income seems to being going back into the school directly. To exemplify this, at the start of this current school year, students were made to sit outside in uncovered bleachers for the start of the year assembly. This is because of the lack of space in the gymnasium. However, even with the outdoor seating, students had to sit on the floor and were in the blazing heat for the entirety of the assembly. Students, teachers, and parents have all requested for years that these bleachers be covered by awnings. In response, Gulliver sent out an email this year requesting donations to fund the construction of the awnings. The construction of the awnings has yet to be started.
Gulliver's history of disciplinary action is extremely corrupt and based primarily on income and reputation rather than the disciplinary concern. Students who have been caught using drugs on campus have frequently been given warnings and mild suspensions. Last year, several freshmen were involved in setting off stink bombs in classrooms throughout the school. One of these freshmen had a parent who was a valued instructor at the school, and another student's father was a lawyer who threatened to sue the school. Neither of these students received harsh punishment.
I think it is worth the time to investigate the behavior of this school's administration and bring it to the attention of the public. The mysterious lack of reinvestment coming from a non-profit organization as well as the corrupt methods for disciplinary action are concerns held by all students and parents that attend the school.
One of the worst, if not the worst school. I had not liked my time in gulliver. I was there since the fifth grade up until my end of senior year. I cannot believe how bad the school really is, and how they try so hard to have a great public image. Firstly, the school has accepted more people than the availability they were given. There were articles detailing how Gulliver was accepting too many students, and if that's not enough. They made all the students sit outside in the first day of school, because they would rather use their tuition on other things rather than more bleachers causing a lot of students to sit in the floor. They moreless had no space, so they made all the students sit outside. The fact that they want to excel in creating an exciting life for students being and having equal rights as every other student, is a direct lie. They even have a separate campus for people who don't simply care about school called the miller campus, and they are just a bunch of snobby rich kids, hoping to take over their parents fortunes, and they make the school a living hell, since their parents are the ones who donate money to the school, so their children can stay. They are above one of the reasons, why the school is a living hell. That's not even as bad though. The lack of restraint on "drugs" is as bad as Trump making arrogant remarks on different ethnicities. The fact that each year at least, 20-30 kids are caught doing drugs in the school bathrooms or in the field, and their parents threatening to sue the school or them paying money is clearly a huge flaw in the system, and shows how pathetic a school that supposedly dedicates its time to "cracking down on drug use", can be so wrong. In addition, the schools inability to hire a proper and plausible administration is another annoying flaw, whereas the dean of students is equally as bad as the students and one who doesn't get in trouble for wrong doings. He has a record for things, but aside from that. The education is fine, but the rest of the aspects that make up the school, make it a place I wish I could never have gone. Go to ransom, seriously trust me.
