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
Posted by a community member on 12/10/2025I was concerned because my daughter was struggling to enjoy reading. She is very smart and has good grades in all of her classes, but she avoided reading at all costs.

Posted by a parent on 5/25/2017Gifford Middle School has provided my four children an excellent academic experience over the past 10 years. From the teachers who prepare quality lessons to the band that provides unique team building experiences, Gifford Middle has served my family well.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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.Parent Review2y ago - Exceptional Student Education

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our third year at the school. I currently have a Daughter and Granddaughter attending there.The school is strict, and very structured.The Principal, Teachers and Support Staff try very hard to make it a "family" environment.The students are respected, safe, and loved. They are not treated as just a number.I feel that my girls are getting the absolute best education offered in Indian River county, including private or public schools.Parent Review6y ago - Suncoast Primary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAwful, from the teachers to the owner. This school has gone down terribly. They don’t teach the children properly and the buildings are very old rusted and probably not up to code. The staff is elderly and don’t know how to talk to the kids appropriately. I would not send my child here.Parent Review6y ago
