my child was in a special Ed classroom at the school. they treat the kids in these classes so unfairly. I was told by my child that the teachers made them clean the lunchroom, aren't they supposed to be learning? Instead, she was forced by their teachers to pick up a mess which she was not responsible for it wasn't just them it was the other kids, this school is very cruel towards kids with disabilities and will not let them have a future or help them get an education after, the reason why? For the special needs kids they will not be able to go to college because they will be given a exceptional diploma and if they want to they will have to get an education all over again at the local college for a GED! This is absolutely vile. If you have special needs kids please find a school more accepting and that encourages a great future for your kid! My child was very unlucky for this, I wish I could have done put my child at a better school if I knew her future would never be ensured here. This school needs to be investigated.

This school is the worst I’ve even seen. Teacher can’t find student work and give c. Lack of communication with parents, bullying of all kind, racist name calling. 5 more months and my child will be gone, send ur child somewhere else. Education is not a big deal for them. I ask for a tutor for my child (it’s available at the school) teacher said well she is on track she don’t need it.

They put kids in trouble for petty things, such as lightly pulling on a backpack, as I have witnessed. Two kids lightly leaning on each other before class started was deemed as horse playing, which makes no sense, as class hadn't started and wouldn't for about 2 minutes. They get on kids for saying words like hell, then some of the teachers say worse. In all, Gifford Middle School is built on hypocrisy, and should be reformed.
