gSchool is run by Jumpstart Lab (my employer), who also did Hungry Academy for LivingSocial a while back. I wasn't directly involved in teaching HA, but I did do evaluations of the students from time to time, and they were all competent developers.
What they weren't was super quick to resolve errors. That can only really come from experience. They'd be able to figure out if something went wrong, but whereas I (#50 on the Rails contributors list) would know instantly what was wrong, it'd take them some time. That's to be expected from new devs, though, no way around that but time.

steve,will you be teaching this time?
We're figuring it out. At the very least, I will be swinging by from time to time to teach periodically, but I will probably not be there full-time.
