We have been happy with this school. Our youngest child has thrived here. We have been very happy with the staff for the most part. Just like any school some of the teachers here seem to be better than others. This school is only two years old and seems to be much better funded than other schools in the Cumberland County System. Student access to techonolgy is also pretty good.
I think this is a good school because it appears to be more challenging than other schools in the area. The only thing I do not really like about it is the way they handle people being a minute or two late....there is usually a long line of cars to get children dropped off, there is a bad traffic pattern in surrounding roads, there is only one way in, off chicken foot road (busy road, few side street stoplights), and if your child is late because of this, you have to go stand in a line with her to get signed in, otherwise the kid gets detention. The line usually causes the child to be even later, even though it is only homeroom we are talking about. What is that teaching her? I think there should be a grace period if the line is long. It isn't like I can drop her off in the street.
As a parent of a special needs child, I have found the teachers to be reprehensible, the EC deptartment unhelpful and way below par, and the policies and procedures unrealistic. As an educator myself, I can't even comprehend the disturbingly low standards of this school.
My children presently attend Grays Creek Middle... we found the school a good school, the facilities are beautiful and the staff is friendly.
Gray's Creek Middle is an excellent Middle school. The Teachers and staff are very frendly and I am please for what they do for my kids.
I am a 7th grader at gcms. This is the best school ever!! There are great teachers and staff. There is also like no bullying. You should go to this school!
I love this school and Im a student in the 7th grade and its the best school ever
My grandchild goes to GCMS and she likes it. That says a lot. Personally, I like too and think it's a great school. The staff is helpful, attentive to learning, promotes good behavior, and (believe it or not) supports moral values and patriotism. I am surprised to see that parent involvement is rated average. Maybe they need to be reminded that their role is to monitor their child's progress but enjoy it along the way. What better way than to sit on a bleacher and watch a game or two, visit the classroom, attend meetings, and dress your kid up for those wild dances.
Me personally I do not like this Scool. The curiculam that the teachers teach is great, but morally this school has a big problem. If I were you I would not send my child to this school. This school also has racial problems among students. Dont take my word for it walk down the halls your self, you will see were I am coming from.
