Garfield Middle School

This is a state of the art public school with an exceptional staff and students! My daughter received an exemplary education at GMS!

This school had to much violence and bullying. Many kids get picked on constantly and the grades are below average. I would know I have went to this school for 2 years, I was also bullied to the fullest extent and the teachers never did anything about it.

I love the way that they secure us. We do many hands-on activities and I enjoy every part of being in this school.

I think most of the teachers really try and make the school a good place for the kids to learn. What I don't like is that there are only a few students in honors classes. There are many students that are more than capable of exceeding in these classes but they are not pushed to do so. I also think that all the students should be taking spanish classes. It will better prepare them for high school. Students that need the extra help in reading should stay after for the extra help.

This is a school that has been designated as a Need Improvement Title 1 School. I as a parent of two 7th graders have often questioned my children on the lack of homework given in Math, Reading, Science on a daily basis. They spend more time doing class projects than homework.
