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.

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.

Horrible!.I wish I could go back in time and tell my mother I never want to go there. This will be the first and last generation that my family ever goes to that school. There are bearly teachers there and if there are teachers they will either give us a paper and expect us to know what to do if you ever ask for help then they will yell at you for not knowing this and call you stupid.as for the cafeteria I cannot remember when I had a peaceful lunch since the students are having a food fight I had to skip lunch or not go anywhere near the cafeteria. And as for the bathroom they only keep the girls Bathrooms lock while the boys is open and if you ask the security guards to open it they will get mad up on you. All I got to say about that school is you bearly learn nothing and there's rude people there and so many fights happens each day and it's really really dirty.

You call the main office and they tell you that you need to email the personnel in order to get an appointment with them yet nobody ever repli...

From my experience as a student, Unfortunately, G. James Gholson Middle School falls short in several critical areas that impact the quality of education and the well-being of its students. One of the most significant issues here is the recurring problem of fights and a lack of effective measures to...
