The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This school is filled with amazing teachers and kids that are there not just to learn but to spend time with their friends in their favorite classes. Not every middle school has that enjoyable environment that eighth graders will miss when leaving for high school like Great Bridge Middle School does. GBM is surely the place to grow up.

As a military family that has moved several times and been in over 6 schools, this school is by far the worst. The leadership is clueless, safety is NOT a priority, students are not held accountable for their actions and the list goes on. The teachers have been pretty good-definitely responsive to e...
