I love teaching at GMS. We have problems. That's true. Every school does now. However, we work hard here as a team to cope with those problems. Learning is important, and we focus on doing just that every day in class. We encourage children to believe in themselves and to celebrate their uniquenesses.

I attend Gautier Middle School. I am a straight 'A' student, and I am an over achiever. The school offers only 3 advanced classes for students and does not challenge students who are driven to learn. As of now, students are not allowed to go to the restroom alone due to the fact that students are using

Most of my teachers have quit taking the whole class to the restroom because they do not know how to behave in the hall way. We do not have any textbooks as well. However, I thank God for every teacher at that school because they are trying their best. Read less

I am a eighth grade student here at Gautier Middle school and I moved here from AZ last year. At first I didn't like the school because of all the rules but if you behave and do what you're supposed to then there won't be a problem. Everyone is very nice to you. We have had a superior band for the last

The pricibles are a little strict but through the school year they loosen up. Parent involvment is good too. They do a good job keeping the parents up to date. The only thing I don't like is the bathroom rule. You're only allowed to use the bathroom the first and last 15 minutes of class, and usually there is quite a few kids. Read less

I have lived in Gautier since before my children started school. My oldest two attend GMS and I feel the schools in our District are more concerned about uniforms and what a child is wearing than they are about their education. If you want for your children to be written up and suspended because of the

Try and talk to one of these beloved administrators about their policies and see how open their communication really is. Read less

Between the 3 middle schools I have dealt with during raising my children, I have found that GMS is superior overall. All the rules and expectations are written out so that everyone will know what is expected and what the consequence will be for the infraction. The handbook doesn't leave room for questions.

We are so pleased with GMS! Dr. Parker (principal), assistant principals, and counselors are great administrators! They have had several times for parents to come to the school and have meetings and workshops. The discipline is so much better with Dr. Parker at the helm. He is consistent and fair.
