My daughter was new to this district for 7th grade and has a GIEP. In the past, that usually just meant more homework for ME! As a working single mom, that was so hard. However, GSMS has taken gifted support to a whole new level. I am super impressed with how individualized it really is, how much improvement my daughter has made in weak areas, how cherished she is as a person by staff, and how responsible and independent she has become with her academic experience. I first met the principal, teachers, and guidance counselors at general orientation and they all remembered who I was the next time I went in. Everyone there is just so talented, enthusiastic, and genuinely caring. The infrastructure, technology, and ideology is top-notch. I'm really excited about the next 5 years in the ELANCO school district.

This school is doing a good job with adding the laptops with the education. My daughter loved her two years in the middle school and is moving to the high school this year. My son is doing ok at the middle school and is looking forward to going back this year. The administration is very nice and helpful

I am pleased with the education my son is getting. Many of the teachers try very hard to keep the students motivated and interested in learning. The teachers have an open line of communication, and some send parents a weekly update of what their child is learning and what is expected from them. The guidance counselors work very hard to get to know each student and provide resources to enhance their school experience. GS Middle School is a very good school and I am happy my kids are in such a great district.
