The teachers of this school need to realize that their job is to actually TEACH the students and not just sit there and expect them to teach themselves. Also, the teachers need to pay more attention to all of the bullying that goes on right in front of them in the classrooms! Do your job, teachers.

As a current student at GMS, I think that we are having serveral problems within the school. Discpline is a huge issue. Though we do have ISS/OSS, it seems that the kids who get ISS/OSS keep getting it. I also fail to see why they quit ringing a tardy bell since some of us can waltz into class 5 minutes

But, other than that, I would highly recommend GMS. It's not crowded, and with a few exceptions, there is no racism, gangs, drug-addicts at all. Read less

I am a current student at G.M.S and I find the quality in everything very low. The cafateria food is not very good, it is often discolored, and cold. The parental envolvement is also low. The athletic system is in need of a lot of things such as, the softball/baseball field is the only one in the

As a former student of GMS (97-00), I found GMS to be the most culturally diverse school, which is good. Yet, at the same time, I felt that the discipline wasn't satisfactory. I went through 3 different principals and assistant principals during my time at GMS. I feel that the education I received

As a parent, and employee of the Caldwell County school system I have very high admiration for GMS and all those who work there. When one principal leaves & another comes in there are always changes.

One person can't change the world but if we all pull together and support the adminstration at GMS we all could learn a very important lesson. Help your child learn, don't hurt them by what you feel, let them express their own ideas. Let a child be a child and learn the way we learned. Hard work never hurt anyone, just words hurt. Read less

Lets face it, Gamewell Middle has had its share of problems this year. The school is in transition and there will be problems. Anyone who tries to say the year has been wonderful and everything is good, is delusional or in denial. The question on everyones mind should be, is the situation hopeless?
... Read more Can this school be saved? Yes the school can be saved but, not if everyone chooses to go around bad mouthing the situation. Discipline should be a top priority because the students are out of control. Learning needs to become the focus of everyone in the school, not office or county politics. And above all, we must be realistic about the situation and form a plan of action for the school. The situation can't improve as long as we are in denial of the problems that really do exist.

As a parent and an educator (same county, different school), I have had the opportunity to see two of my children pass through the doors of G.M.S. They have both excelled and scored high on their state testing. It is sad that any parent would seek to malign their child's school. I wonder what type

I am left to the conclusion that it must be someone who has previously worked at the school and is now disgruntled due to no longer being employed here. Education is a very difficult field due to the many different facets of teaching children. My children have always received a quality education by caring teachers & administrators. I commend the principal & staff for working hard for our children! Keep up the great work! Read less
