Gilbert Spruance Elementary School 6401 Horrocks Street, Philadelphia, PA 19149

"I studied here when I was a kid. Worst school. Not all teachers were as bad as my 7th grade teacher but I was bullied a LOT here and nobody did anything, yes i complained many many times. They didnt care."

"How can this school teach its children properly when the staff members are known to bully one another? Grown adults participating in workplace bullying and having the audacity to pick on those who they see as vulnerable and easy to target. Many of the staff members here are rude and unprofessional. They want to make your life as miserable as possible and completely ruin the experience of working at a school with the sole purpose of educating and caring for children. This is not a good school to work at or to send your children to. It is impossible for kids to learn NOT to bully when the staff members at the facility are participating in bullying themselves. And, this isn't so much for the teachers. The principal and office staff are the absolute worse and enjoy picking on employees that are a bit older and kinder. They will talk to you like you are a worthless POS. Human Resources needs to teach them some sensitivity training or something because the principal as well as several other staff members are absolutely horrible!"

"This school is terrible. It's school motto is no place for hate and yet there is hate in every single corner. there are fights about every week if not everyday. In the summer there is no AC in the 8th grader's rooms and some of the other grades room so they just have to tough it out and the school lunches are terrible. there bullies everywhere you look no matter what, even the teachers are harassing kids for absolutely nothing. Also the bathroom is in the worst condition ever, the inside smell like pee and urine."

"Kids in this school swear and bully. They also dont talk about inappropriate stuff. Teachers care about money not kids, Staff doesnt do anything when they see kids swearing or bullying and this school is behind other schools so if you go here then to a different school you will see a massive change in education. The 8th graders here do 5th grade stuff compared to other schools."

"This school made my grandchild go from D,F's. on her reportcard. to honors, and now she HAVES a great vocabulary, and awesome manners!! Thankyou,to this school and there teachers on all the time and effort they put into the kids..... :-):-)"
