This is so stupid. This school is literally so bad because it just so strict, all staff needs retraining. The gymnasium teachers are so mean. They bully, threaten kids. They called a fat kid big boy and that isnt nice. Gulfport Central Middle School is one of the worst schools on the Gulfport School District. I believe that Bayou View is way better than GCMS. GCMS doesnt have a good emotional hotline to talk about anything. Ms. Thompson is the secondary principal and she just cuts off kids and dont let them say anything. She doesnt believe anything that kids says. She only believe the trouble makers and the kids that bully other students about race, facial looks, and what they have and dont have. This school provides nothing at all and this is not right. GCMS is bad and I want to show it to others. The band directors are really rude, the art teacher lowers your grades if she doesnt like you, they have real harsh punishments and teachers or admins dont do anything if a kid gets bullied. This shows how GCMS is one of the schools that I dont recommend attending for your child. Surly this provides great education for students but the administrations and teachers are really strict. They dont care if one is getting bullied or something. They wouldnt care if students skip electives and they dont do Jack. This is sure a rule, strict, non caring, and a bullying school. If you attend GCMS you may know the bullying and fights that happen very often. The slap boxing and the name calling isnt it. We need this school to have some great authority and report right away if someone is getting their feelings hurt. This school really needs some retraining. Im sorry to say this but the administration and the teachers at Gulfport Central Middle School needs to learn a thing or two about handling a bully or fight situation.

Absolutely horrific. Bullying and racism are huge problems at this school. We moved out of the area because it is so bad there. Pay attention to the dates on the 'positive' reviews. That school is a joke.

Gulfport Central Middle School is awesome. Some of the teachers take the time to think about us, the students, before they make decissions. The administrators, teachers, and staff strive to make the school more exciting. The atheletic department is awesome and the clubs at Central are outstanding. In my opinion, Central is very COPACETIC. As Dr.Battle says every morning,"Average is officially OVER!!"

My school, Gulfport Central Middle, has an incedible band. Our band has great potential to become one of the best band in our school district. GCMS band shows us how to commuicate with one another, not just by talking but through music. It teaches leadership. - One band, One sound....

This school is located outside the Sea Bee base and frequently has military personnel from the base volunteering in the school, which is a welcome sight. It is always nice to see our men in uniform giving back to the community and setting an example for the local students.The faculty and administration here work very closely with the parents to ensure that the students are provided with a first-class, quality, 21st century education that will stand them in good stead no matter what choice they make for their educational career; and those discussions are taking place in their 6th, 7th, and 8th grade classrooms. This is definitely an education for tomorrow!

GCMS is a wonderful school that has devoted, professional teachers that encourage each student to perform to their greatest ability.
Posted: April 9, 2013
I do not teach at GCMS but I know that the teachers/staff there care deeply about their students and strive everyday to make the best of every situation they are given. They put in long hours to make sure they are giving their all to the students at the school.
Posted: April 9, 2013
My 3 sons attended GCMS and had a remarkable experience. Middle school can be quite difficult, but this school was attention e to their needs. Upon entering high school in honors classes my boys maintained excellence. The two who have graduated have entered the University of South Alabama in academic scholarships totaling $60,000.00 plus. Thanks GCMS-they are making you proud. cje

Outstanding teachers, trremendous administration, and great students. A topnotch place to educate your child. Outstanding electives such as band, choir, and strings. Fine Arts Deparment is second to none. Science Department seems to be the strongest staff, but all teachers are doing a great job.

This school is truly awful. I have 2 children enrolled here and it has been never ending problems. Racism and bullying are rampant problems and ignored when brought to someones attention. We are moving just to get our children out of this school. It's that bad.
