From the moment I entered the school, the staff, kids and administrators treated us kindly and welcomed all our questions.

My experience as volunteer parent and my son attending this school. During the covid pandemic. My son missed his first year and half. All of 6 grade year. We were home school which i loved because, I was at home with him. 7th and 8th grade year were challenging not his academic but his social skills. I was worried but my son adjusted very well in Middle school. As a volunteer parent in 7th grade and 8th grade. I knew my son friends and school staff. My son enjoyed his two years at Gwynn Park Middle School. This school has so much potential if they were given the opportunity for more support equipment and staff. I believe there is lack of staff all over the PG county school. I pray the next generation of young adults will want to teach at Gwynn Park Middle School. Or change it to a "Gwynn Park Charter School". I believe the charter school are up and coming...they bring a different education and more support staff and better incentive package.

The published ratings for this school do not fully reflect the level of interaction and engagement provided by the staff in this close-knit community. As a family new to the area, I was initially concerned about the school’s rating; however, our experience has been exceptional.My second grader loves attending this school, and watching his learning and engagement grow has been wonderful. The teachers are dedicated, and the support from the PTO, Principal, and Vice Principal has been warm and welcoming. They clearly take great pride in caring for their students.This is a TAG (Talented and Gifted) school, and the academic opportunities offered to students working above grade level are impressive. Overall, I have been extremely pleased with the staff and my child’s progress here.
