Description: Serving students in grades 6 through 8, Gililland Middle School (GMS) is part of Tempe’s District 3 system. More than 800 students attend Gililland, which offers an inclusive and broad curriculum and special activities. Like many of the schools in Tempe, the student body is diverse and the administration is committed to fostering respect for differences and collaboration. “ALL means ALL” is at the heart of the Gililland Middle School’s philosophy, which stresses personal connections between students and staff. Each student is encouraged to feel a part of something unique. A new campus is planned for 2023 and will include new buildings with instructional technologies, enclosed bridgeways between the buildings and improved athletic fields. The students at GMS are a big part of this effort and the school has even created a Construction Club, so the kids who attend can feel Like a key part of the process. Students are learning vital skills Like building design and programming, computer-based drawing and even trade skills, which they’ll apply to help build a garden shed for the expanded property. About 92 percent of the GMS student body is categorized as minorities and the teacher/student ratio currently stands at 16:1, slightly lower than the Tempe district.

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.

Someone who was not allowed to pick up my kid removed her from school . They allowed my child to leave with said person but called me . I had to call police by myself to get help getting my child back. Gililland also has bullies and has never called to notify me when my child has been slapped by another kid that has happened multiple times.
