The staff is like a family and we all want to work here and teach students. We have many involved parents who care about their children's education. Our new administrative staff is working hard to made things good for staff and students. The old reviews make me sad, and I hope others will jump in and give fair reviews on our wonderful school.

This school is horrible. I have an 8th grader here and I am elated he is in the 8th grade and will be moving on next year! The office staff is very unprofessional to the point I made a complaint at the district level. The principal, Mr. Gutierrez, leaves a lot to be desired. If you can, avoid this school like the plague.

My two children walk to school, which is fantastic as the traffic issues at B Gale are horrific. My oldest is in 6th grade and my youngest is in 2nd. I spend multiple hours every week there. I can say with conviction, the idea of DI is awesome. I was proud to be a part of it. Over time, and multiple administrators, I have lost all faith. Our principal has no passion, no leadership, and no vision. Nothing changes. Lowest common denomination is the status quo. I have watched great kids leave, at the insistence of great parents. I've also watched great teachers leave, and very capable admin staff. I have given up hope and am pulling my kids out. You should look elsewhere if you can. This school could have, and should have, been the crown jewel of the district, but they can't even clean a bathroom. It's a trainwreck and the leadership doesn't care.

Appalling. My daughter has Asperger's(PDD scale) and is in mainstream. I ve had trouble with this school since day one. One of her teachers likes to announce to the class when she gets D's and F's latley. He belittles her in front of the class by telling her that she doesn't even try and that she doesn't study. My daughter is past tears for this now. Now she just goes on and on about how worthless and stupid she feels that she is. Also, the conduction and body language of one particular lunchlady/yard duty, is more parallel to a jail guard. If I get any more direct with my family's bad experience with this school, I'm sure my words will get used against me. Although there are a few good adults, I am (overall) very displeased with this school.

One huge problem with B Gale Wilson is the rudeness of the office staff. I have witnessed this problem first hand many times. I believe it is detrimental to have junior high students mixed in with grade school children. I understand that the school is very overcrowded and that it contributes to many of the major problems.

I loved this school, sure it has it's faults, what school doesn't? But, there are a selection of after school activities to explore. I for one love the school, and I think the teachers are overall pretty good. Some are rude & choose favorites, but I think the new ones they brought this past year are wonderful, and bring joy to B. Gale Wilson middle school, I'm very satisfied & am ready to bring on the new school year, with the new principal. Lets go wildcats!

I was here K-3 then left for Rolling Hills Elementery then returned for my middle school years. My Kindergarten here was the worst year of my life. My last 3 years went very well. The teachers were amazing, I had fun everyday, and had so many friends. When I returned for middle school it was obvious that it had went downhill dramatically. This makes me really upset to see how a place I grew up in turned too. My teachers were all quite stuck up and very controlling. I was always surrounded my the gangster ghetto vibe in there and it didn't feel as safe as I used to. All that I could say is that it needs to go back to the amazing school that it used to be. It is sad to see how it became.
