The school is one of the worst in the city. The Teacher’s need more training as well as the Principal. My family generation after generation has attended this school for the past 30 years and these past 2 years have been a huge downgrade.

Gulf Avenue is. Wonderful school that cares about their kids. They help to teach more than academics by teaching kids to swim and ensure that they learn how to be successful in school and in life.

This ES is horrible. They allow bullying to happen. Every employee in the school is there for the money, and they don't care about the students. Staff justify their inefficiencies with the socioeconomic population. Horrible school!

TERRIBLE !!! PRINCIPLE SHOULD GET MORE INVOLVED WITH TEACHERS AND GET THEM ON TRACK TO REALLY BE TEACHERS. OUR CHILDREN DEPEND ON THIS TEACHERS BUT , WHEN A TEACHER CALLS THIER STUDENTS IDIOTS I DON'T THINK THIS IS VERY PROFESSIONAL. NOW YOU BE THE JUDGE WOULD YOU REALLY CALL THIS PEOPLE "TEACHERS"???????

Gulf Ave has alot to offer. As a parent I've notice this school provides many special programs. Just to name a few. We recently had our dental program, free glasses for our kids, and we also have our health van every other week!! Our PrincIpal is always looking for new programs to bring to our school. We also recently recieve a very important award too. I know when I first brought my child here I was not too happy, but if you ask me now. I am a proud parent! Keep up the great work Gulf staff. This school also have a great resourse program for kids that are strugling. Great teachers that really care for thier students. Love this school.
