Gulfstream Middle School

I am an 8th grader at this school and i am proud of how far it has come. The terrific programs like STEM, sports, and other programs and the support from our principal and other staff members makes this school perfect to send your kids.

STEM Program, GEM Math, Band, Chorus, Drama club, Dance Team, Soccer, Basketball, lots of extra-curricular activities - this school is incredible! Last year they were a "B" school and it was the largest increase in points out of all the schools in the county. The principal announced that now they were just a few points away from an "A" rating, and they expect to be an "A" school this year!

Gulfstream Middle is in an an innovative zone with a brand new, dynamite principal, Brian Kingsley. He's got very dedicated & knowledgeable staff. I chaperoned a field trip with GS Middle kids at JA Cntr in CoConut Creek. They scored the highest in the history of this center and were very eager to learn and best behaved. with the new STEM program coming to this and all the other Hallandale schools, the grades and perceptions will greatly increase.

I am sad to report that since 2006, this school, has been an underachiever! Since 2006, the school has earned - - - C in 2006, D in 2007, C in 2008, C in 2009 and C in 2010! Fortunately, under the " No Child Left Behind Act" parents can transfer their child to a either an "A" or "B" school; however, it is unfortunate that children have to tranfer to other areas in other to get an education. Hallandale Elementary does an excellent job, however, I can say the same about Gulfstream Middle. It gets worst when children leave Gulfstream Middle and enter Hallandale High, another underachiever school! It's a tragedy for the children, parents, and community at Hallandale Beach.

This is one of the worst schools I have ever seen! I do not understand why they keep it open. Most of the kids there are delinquents and do not care about learning! Just a place to eat and hang out... The staff is awesome, principal and vice principal are doing the best they can, but you would have to be God himself, to turn this school around. I am so glad I got my child out of there. Think twice before letting your child attend this school! I just wished we could've taken the pricipal and vice pricipal with us!

I have worked at other schools and I would rate this school an 'A' when it comes to working with a caring staff. The principal is amazing...she really cares about her students and staff. The draw back is that it seemed like the parents were lacking in participation and some students missed alot of school. This might explain why the school is not rated as high as it should be.

I really think this school needs a lot of improvements staring with the teachers. As a parent I think Gulstream Middle School is not ready to teach any child needs a staff that really care about students. It really sad because is the only middle scholl for hallandale.

I as a parent think that Gulfstream Middle School, is the worst school I have sent my daughter to. The teachers are worst then the children themselves. The atmosphere and the people around make the enviorment the way it is. And I just completly think this school is unexceptable for any student or teacher to attend..
