This is a great school. There is a high level of parent involvement and the teachers are wonderful.

My daughter came to GTown Middle as a 6th Grader this year. So far she loves it! We moved out of Fayette County to put her in a better school system. She is now top of her class, and loves her teachers....That says alot these days! Teachers who know the students, and actually care about them, and how they are doing in school, life, and home. They are a great faculty, and deserve a huge pat on the back! Congrats! ...and 'Thank you!' for caring about our children!

We requested a transfer for our son from Southwind Middle to G'town Middle. It was one of the best decisions we've made concerning our child's education. The staff shows interest in what our children learn. Communication with the teachers via email or open house is 'Excellent'! The 7B staff really keep me informed on my son's progress. I've requested a transfer for my youngest son for the same reason(s). Also, many of the students are members of academic clubs/societies and I am very impressed with the fact that so many qualify and participate!
