How can our cildren learn with any books? The teachers dont seem to care and the parents aren't involved enough. G.R Ford needs serious help, it seems like the kids are worse there than they were before.

I think GERALD R. FORD is the best school I have ever been to. They have a lot of diffrent things and activities there. Even though all the fights that we go through this still is a good school. All of the teachers the principle's and admenistators and even the security guards are the best.

This school is horrible. Most of the students are more concerned about fighting, than learning. Teachers have to stop a lot to correct behaviors so kids who want to learn don't learn as well.

I am a parent of a student who attended Madison Middle and am here to honestly say that this school needs sincere help. I am troubled about many things at this school. In my opinion there are some staff who really truly care about the school and it's students, but it just isn't enough. There were issues that the board of education should have focused more on, like not enough food, not enough books.
