High tuition, low academic standards

Business outlook

Pros

Nice campus, access to good gym

Cons

The unspoken rule here is that students are given A grades unless they simply neglect to turn in an assignment. I regret sending my kids here. The academic standards are abysmal. My kids struggled their first year of college because they were not at all prepared. Why push when the kids who do next to nothing also get As? Also, the school is managed by people who have never worked anywhere but Gilmour, and the result is that the culture is insular and behind the times. Fresh ideas can't gain any traction, in the business office or anywhere else.

great kids, beautiful facilities (ice rink, middle school, athletic center), small class sizes, easy schedule, free lunch, self-assessments in place of parent-teacher conferences, two week spring break

Cons

chief academic officer, extremely low pay, homophobic teachers, no transparency from admin/business office, lots of extra requirements, little to no discipline, outdated classroom building and math and science building, favoritism, no salary schedule (very secretive), sharing classrooms, you have to stay after school for 55 minutes

Business outlook

Pros

There are some nice people but they usually leave after a couple of years when they realize how bad the leadership is

Cons

Back stabbing, petty leadership that only cares about the school never getting a bad rap. will not watch out for the employees and caters to anyone with a fist of money to throw at them even if the kids are suffering for it. Numerous coverups regarding sexual incidents and hazing as well as cheating
