I have one kid that attended this school for three years and one kid that is in 7th grade right now. By now I know a lot about this school and do not have much good to say about it. While there are some good teachers most of the ones that my kids had are lousy. They either don't know the subject they

I was so worried when my son started middle school - but it has been a great experience for him, and for me as a parent. The teachers have been responsive to my questions/concerns, the principal is an excellent communicator. No surprise that we see LOTS of Dove Elementary parents volunteering. There

I do not agree with the below statements. Our son is a special needs child and Mrs Blackstock and Mr Warner are wonderful to him. We could not be happier with this school. Maybe if you were a little more involved with you child you would know that thier grades are failing. Try calling and checking

I feel that GMS is overall a good school. We no longer have to wear collared shirts and have to tuck them in( thank goodness). The cafeteria does have okay foods but they rerely have any foods that vegetarians would like. I think if they would changes that then i would be more satisfied.

I would agree with using extreme caution when considering GMS, the teachers have no self control they yell at the students and call them names. Teachers do not contact parents when there is an issue with grades. The coaches are an issue all it's own they show favoritism they seem to go out of their way

If this is not enough my student has been offered drugs at this school and said that some kids carry knives. Where is this headed? Do we wonder why the schools test scores have dropped and why the school is rated only acceptable at this point. Read less

I enjoy attending GMS but there are a few problems. I feel there is room for improvement in some areas. The lunch scheduel this year was horrible. You never had enough time to eat and enjoy the nasty cafeteria food. The second issue would have to be the pointless dress code. They feel that we should

They fail to give us a reason for this rule, so obviously we do not need such a disturbance in our young teenage lives. We need the oppertunity to become independant and express ourselves through our fashion sense. I love this school but these are my disagreements. Read less
