"The school is beautiful, it has new technology, and a good principal, but one of the counselors was amazingly unhelpful and discourteous. It also lacks in high academic standards. My child attended from 6th through 8th grade, took all pre-AP courses and was not challenged at all, and in fact was sent home with coloring packets in Science and Social Studies and would get points off if something was the "wrong" color. She learned everything she needed to know in excellent elementary schools."

"I do not agree with the previous review. My son is an 8th grader. Which means that his group is the first 6th graders graduating this year. This means that we are the first batch completing all the 3 years in this middle school. My experience here was amazing. Great teachers, parents, students vice principal and principal. When I look forward to high school, I do know we will be missing this environment a LOT. The teachers are very supportive and respond to your message the same day. All the teachers are excellent. My son never wants to miss a day. All the appointments are scheduled after school so we do not miss any homework. It needs a great teacher to change a child's life and these teachers have that potential. The algebra teacher is amazing and very motivating. My son just loves attending her class. He looks forward to that class every day. Hats off to the TEACHERS of GORZYCKI!!!"

"It has a beautiful, new facility and a strong fine arts department. However, old fashioned, outdated teaching which relies on parents to do most of the teaching at home is the norm. Students have eight 42 minutes classes per day that do not allow for in depth, thorough teaching. Electives are limited and they should have block scheduling like most modern day middle school models. The school has great parent involvement and high achieving kids. However, there are little or no programs in place for struggling kids. Systems are still not in place after three years. Things are very disorganized for basic things like registration. There is a weak understanding and implementation of differientiated curriculum. Teaching teams do not communicate with parents or each other. This school has the potential to be great. It just isn't there yet. Test scores are high because of the excellent elementary feeder schools for this middle school and most students have educated parents and the means to help their kids or hire tutors. I would say that it is an average middle school."
