I attended GVMS for 4 years and graduated in 2003. Someone mentioned gangs and violence and that was just a thought from a sheltered/sheltering individual.

The detention system is a bit exhuberant, but for those students who are teetering on a neglectful/diligent path it proveds incentives for being a worker. Fights do happen but the staff is ready and takes care of things in a very proffesional way. I felt more prepared than others in high school academically thanks to this school. I trully believe this to be a great school. Read less

We also provide a lot of extracurricular activities to keep students contstuctively involved and out of trouble if they so choose. These include sports, field trips, and clubs. There is a small fee involved for these activities. The district desperately needs another middle school as gavilan view's student population has doubled in size..It's crowded. As for student behavior the school needs more support from the district in this area. Read less

This is a very good school because it has a lot of different extra classes like french, spanish, japaneese,drama, art. It has a lot of different teams. The principles are very nice and so are the teachers. The disipline in this school is kind of strict but I think its good.
