This school needs to be shut down. Keep your kids far away i had to deal with some much crap at this school especially when my grandkid had to fight back basically the whole school cause if one person dont like you they all dont like you and make your grandkid life a living hell so dont trust this school and the school district is worthless also trust and believe me.

Our daughter has had a great experience at Gunning Bedford. The programs and opportunities they have created for these students is fantastic! The teachers and staff are friendly and and go above and beyond to see their students succeed.
