I love this school, most teachers are nice and really care. They make learning interesting. My favorite teacher ever was Mrs.Gilpin. (6th grade social studies). Theres only a few problems. 1- the carpets. they are so old and are ductaped together in some places. 2- The walls and ceilings. The walls arent very stable, because when the school was built there were no inside walls and they were added later. The ceilings leak when it rains. And lastly, the busses. They are WAY overcrouded, late ALL the time, and atleast one bus breaks down every month. But I'd say for the most part at Gauger, the good outweighs the bad. With everything I said about the problems there, it might seem like a not-so-good school. But really, its a pretty good school. . dont think Gauger is a bad school because of what I said. There is no perfect public middle school. Gauger is about as close as it gets. (: I love this school. They do so much to prevent bullying, so much. And almost always, it works. But, like I said, nothings perfect. Theres nothing more they could do to prevent bullying. The education is really good too (: Right now i'm doing 7th grade work in 6 grade. (: Ok, im out of room now. Byeee :) :)

This school does not care about my childs education as much as they should! Being an educator in a school system there number one priority should be TEACHING!! what happened to our mentors!! I been struggling with teachers in this school for 2 years.. seems to me they are just there to collect a paycheck. :(

This school is horrible. My son has been bullied, pantsed and tormented from the very first day he stepped foot on campus. The principal says she's committed to education but she delegates the discipline to her associates and doesnt seem to comprehend that a child that is in a negative environment can't learn.

Gauger was an ok school. My daughter just finished 8th grade at this school and I will say that the teachers did a good job. Denae didnt want to leave the school in June. I think the school have alot to offer if they can just put more effort in providing it.

This school is the best out of all three schools I've been to in the christina school district. (Brader and Bancroft) Suprisingly, you don't get teased much at Gauger, which is suprising because it is a junior high where snobby kids from other schools come from. The teachers are all awesome except for Mrs.Heller and Mrs.Bryant beacuse they scream at you for no reason. I really liked the idea of putting 6th grade on there so i could be with my older friends. The only probelem about this school is the bbuses. They're late, they break down, they're crowded, etc... I would never want to change schools! I gaurentee you'll have a great time at Gauger-Cobbs Middle School!
