Glen Edwards Middle School

Glen Edwards Middle School has made so many new positive changes. The NEW principal and NEW Vice principal are very involved, they are reaching out to each student. Get involved with APTS (Association, parent, teachers and students) so you can help make a difference.

My son is a 7th grader at GEMS, and I cannot say enough positive about the new adminstration at our school. The whole feel of the campus has improved, and I love the positive feeling. My son's teachers are great and he has continued to grow academically. I am involved in the school, and would love to see more families involved.

I find this school to be prejudice towards latin. and unfairly treated. concerned Grandparent. who is over the Vice Principal or than the Princiipal?

A getto school. Preforming arts, the ropes course, and the band are the only good things.

I am very pleased with the teachers that my child has. Although, the principal is not very professional or organized. He will say and promise things and not follow through. I would tell other parents, Beware!!

My daughter is in the 8th grade, and I have to say that I'm extremly pleased with the parent/teacher communication. They are always sending emails with updates on assignments and projects. Also notification if your child missed an assignment or did poorly on a test. I feel that Glen Edwards gets a bad rap sometimes due to the fact that it is an older school, but I don't have any complaints what so ever. She has great friends and is loving every minute of it!

My son is new to Glen Edwards and I was happy to have him start at GEMS thinking this school would be far better than his last. I was wrong! There were struggles at his last school but at least the teachers would communicate with us. I have been emailing his teachers and leaving voicemails and not once I have I been contacted back. It is no surprise to me that this school is only rated a 6. The teachers and Administrative staff alienate their biggest allies - the parents!

I have a daughter who has attended GEMS for 2 yrs. (she is currently in 7th grade) and overall I think this is a good school. However there needs to be more interaction between the teacher and parents I feel.

My son is in 6th grade, his main teachers are Mr. Aggripino and Ms. Villa, They are both wonderful teachers. They made his transition to Middle school easy. I am sure my son will miss them. The school buildings need updating, they are old and they look it.
