Gladden Middle School

This is a great school! I am a student here and i enjoy every minute here. The teachers are great and try hard to make sure we understand what we are doing and that we are doing all of our work correctly. Our principal Dr. Bates is very kind and cares about each child individual needs no matter what that need may be.They also have great sports systems and I myself are on the Basketball Team and the Track and field team. I think any one who is looking to attend Gladden Middle School(GMS) would be glad they did. Go GMS Warriors!

There are very few teachers at Gladden Middle (GMS) who understand engaging work. The overwhelming majority of work required of students is ditto-driven and is seldom, if ever, truly aligned with individual student needs. Our child is in his/her third year at GMS and has had a total of two or three instructors who understand this age student. The administrative team listens (although the current AP has not been approached by me/us regarding these issues) but no legitimate action is taken to improve the climate or learning experiences for kids. The facilities are not well kept but that is insignificant compared to the lack of quality work. Answering questions at the end of the chapter, reciting an extracurricular group's creed, and receiving no support when 'I don't understand' is said by students are only a few examples of why we have been extremely disappointed with this school.

Gladden Middle School is leading the way in technology for middle schools. The teachers are wonderful and Dr. Bradley is the best! Every student should be able to attend Gladden.
