Greenbelt Middle School

Greenbelt Middle School Has Changed On A Level With Mr.Tweedy As It's A.P ! The School Now Has Camera's On Almost All The Hallways. Luckily There Is A New Building On The Way Because The Appearance Of The School Is Horrible.

Greenbelt Middle School is in historic Greenbelt, MD. It is valuable to the history of the Greenbelt community, which was planned and built during the era of Roosevelt's New Deal, and to the whole Nation as the first planned community and only one of three 'green' cities actually built of the twelve originally planned. Please help support this neighborhood school.

Greenbelt Middle does not encourage its students who are high performing students. They are not encouraging students who have exceptional ability. There appears to an emphasis on the male students rather than the female students. Some of the clerks and secretaries are not public friendly and are rude when they answer the telephone. My child has taken the College Board for 2 years in a row as part of the John Hopkins Gifted and Talented Program and no one a the school has tracked her for encouragement and positive reinforcement. Her scores have been over 1,000 each year and she is only in the 8th grade. stride. The Guidance department is inefficient and are not accommodating to parents. There appears to be an emphasis on the male students achievement and not the female students

We pulled our child from GMS after one semester. Safety is a big issue -- there are a lot of fights, students bring weapons to school and there is a continuing gang presence. The school administration doesn't enforce adequate discipline. Violent students, some multiple offenders, boast that the principal lacks the will to suspend them.

The front office staff is very rude. I had an issue with a teacher at the beginning of the school year and the issue was taken care of immediately. The teachers seem to care about the students well being. The school is old but looks to be well taking care of.

The building is extremely old. The staff is well trained and very dedicated to the kids. The school administration does a good job with discipline.

This school is terrible! Staff, teachers are rude, don't follow through on their part. And safety is definately an issue! This school is also failing in the No Child Left behind standards.

I was shocked to read all of the negative reviews. I am not saying that it is perfect, but my child has had a positive experience. I would commend the teaching staff. It seems that they are highly engaged in teaching and make efforts to connect with the students. The major problem I have noticed is the lack of parental involvement. This may be a contibuting factor in most of what the other reviewers mentioned.
