I'm going to be an 8th grader at GMS this fall, and i have to say this is the best school out of every other middle school in the district. As a member of the GMS volleyball team, when we travel to other schools to compete, I've noticed that GMS is the cleanest, brightest, and most well run school out

Deal with it. If you want to wear sweatpants, try-out and make a team. Do something. The Volleyball team, Dance team, Basketball team, Choir, Wresteling and all of the other teams earned it. Thats one of the values you learn here at Gray. If you want something, earn it. If you want passing grades, earn it. Read less

As the parent of two students who have attended Gray Middle School, I would like to say that it is an excellent school with many positive qualities. Most of the teachers and staff are extremely supportive and are willing to work with parents and students to ensure the success of the child. My one complaint
... Read more is the fact that there are several teachers who take weeks to post grades on the IIOD website, making it very difficult for those parents who wish to monitor their child's progress. I take exception to the complaint by one parent on this website who said the school is only for those who are rich or athletes. My family is far from rich, and I have one child who is a superb athlete and one not involved in athletics at all. However, both children have been treated fairly and consistently. If the child works, he succeeds. Read less

As an employee/parent of student(s) attending Gray, I can't say enough about the education they are receiving. They also learn discipline, respect for others as well as self, and continued preparation for the real world. Parents are the first educators and should be working together with teachers,not

The teachers, administration, and staff take great pride in their achievements with all their students and only push themselves harder with their continued success. It's time parents become accountable for their child's continued discipline problems. Stop enabling by using other excuses. The school district is great, GMS is excellent. Do yourself a favor and take time to educate yourself online about this school and its continued success. Also, be thankful to be able to have your child(ren) attend a school with employees who are sincere in their jobs as educators. That's why my child attends GMS! Read less

Because of the great communication, my child was able to bring the grade up and perfom much better. Read less

This is my third year at Gray. When I was in the sixth grade,I was intimitated at first but that was just fear. Now that I'm an eighth grader, I love Gray. Parent involvment is based on how much the parents want to be involved. My parents are involved in almost everything! A program called IIOD lets

The music department is very knowledgable. They are also very skilled and talented. Teachers at Gray care about the learning process and do everything they can to increase the students knowledge. If students need help, most teachers will let them stay afterschool for help. Gray is a GREAT school and I'm sad to be leaving next year. Read less

* In 2007-2008 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in several subjects. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The results reflect the performance of students enrolled for at least 100 days before testing. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky. KCCT academic indices range between 0 and 140, with 100 as the statewide goal for all students.
