"Excellent school - but some areas for improvement"
My daughter has attended Dean Gibson for 6 years and we've been pleased with the school's progress. The curriculum is engaging, and the staff are supportive. However, I do think the school could improve on its communication with parents, especially regarding extra-curricular activities.
