We have been at Gentry for 5 years and we love it. Staff and students are great! I could not imagine my kids any where else. We love Gentry!

We have 2 kids at Gentry and they both love it. There is a good cultural mix and the staff is terrific. Unfortunately the Principal is leaving this year, but we expect there will be someone of the same quality to fill the position.

Gentry is a great school. The teachers are fantastic. The quality of the academics has improved tremendously since the late 90's. I like the way they operate the point system. Keep up the good work! Demples

This is the most amazing school that my children have attended. The teachers are caring and very attentive. I have a child with ADHD and dyslexia and these teacher have gone above and beyond the call of duty. The principal is wonderful and very attentive to any concerns that you may have as a parent. I would recommend it over and over and over. Wonderful school for anyone that has a child with special needs or a high quality education.
