Honestly, I would not recommend this school to any parent, if you can choose not to send your kid here. It is packed, with teachers and programs overwhelmed. It is dangerous, and fighting and arrests are constant. Very cliquey, with not much racial integration. I do not think children are pushed to grow here, and are left out to fend for themselves. I do not know many alumni from here to go on and be able to have highly successful careers. Please avoid yourself the unfortunate reality of this school.

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.
