Gifford C. Cole Middle School

I have attended this school for 1 almost 2 years now,the staff their is great & ask u if something is wrong because they care about what's going on with your life.They also make sure that the students stay on track...we have some really friendly people attending & if you are new sure we'll be glad 2 show u around, it also has sports,tutoring, & extra curricular activities.They do what ever they can to help every student pass Jr.high even the kids with the worst grades can change with a little support & effort.

My experience with this school is and was horrible, my child endure just unbelievable abuse and the staff administrator just are not equipped with the knowledge of Bulling, it is most important your child feels safe where they are....... Ms. Trahan

This school does not offer much advancement for thoes students who are highly gifted. As, a mother of a student who is Highly gifted, I have found it difficult to get the right classes for my daughter. Most of the teachers I have come in contact with are great, it is just that the school does not have the resources it needs to help these children excell above and beyond what is currently offered.

As a student i loved this school the 3 years i was there although the teachers and staff are not so nice the students are the best it is very fun being a student. Also cole is showing signs of improvement with the staff. For me this school was the best because you can have fun and learn at the same time.

Since the arrival of the new principal there has been a dramatic turn around for the better. He is committed, caring and available to studets, families and staff. He has an understanding and respect for the community he works with.

I have been teeching at Cle for the last year and a half. The school has been going through some administative changes that have worked for the better. Disciplinary rules are being enforced, which have made teaching possible compared to las year. Both the administrration and staff are working together to make this campus a safe place for students to learn.

I have been a parent at Cole for three years. I have seen a number administrators and teachers come and go. I think Cole is on the right track. The principal seems to care about the kids and the techers are doing a much better job than last year. I jsut wish the kids would be more respectful.

This is school doesn't care about the children at all. Once they are in trouble, they try to kick them out because they don't have the patiences to work with them. The teachers are rude and so are the principals at that school. Please don't take your child to that school!

Very impatient with the kids, no respect for them, do not care for the students at all.
