The principal and vice principal were excellent at this school. Some of the teachers were amazing and really cared about the kids, were engaging and did fun things (like end of year Katahdin camping trips!). However, there was one 7th grade teacher who was the worst teacher experience of our lives here, and we never once had a bad repoir with a teacher before. She frequently yelled at the kids and belittled them, often to tears. Two students left for private school because of her, I wish I had done that with mine. I don’t think she had a compassionate bone in her body. I won’t go into details because she is no longer a teacher there, so you won’t have to worry about her.Bullying and harrassment rampant, and not just by the miscreant types of kids (and there are plenty of those even in Gorham). Some of the “popular” athletes were the worst, especially the girls.

School to home communication is great. Nice facilities, teachers and support staff. Rigorous academic program that helps kids get ready for High School.

I have 4 children in the Gorham School System and 2 have gone thru Gorham Middle School so far and 2 are currently in the GMS. I have been very pleased and impressed with the Principal and all teachers, coaches, student teachers and aids. The Parent involment is good and not always the same people. I could not ask for anything more from the school. I am sure they would rise to the occasion if I needed to ask. Go Rams!!!
