Giaudrone Middle School 4902 South Alaska Street, Tacoma, WA 98408

"The principal cares more about dress code and behavior than our education. Your child isn’t fail because they don’t do work, part of it is the teachers fault. The bad kids who don’t work, listen or respect their peers get love and sympathy from the counselors. The ‘Step System’ doesn’t work, no matter what."

"If ur kid is a bully then this is the school for them. This school allows kids to be bullied, the teachers dont care, and also bully certain students. This school should be shut down until they can hire staff that are willing to deal with all the issues of this school. If ur child is against bullying and enjoys learning, keep them away from this school"

"This is my son's first year there and I have been impressed with how much the teachers do care. They take extra time out of their day, after school hrs to help kids with their homework or help them understand further. They even give them additional work so they could improve their grades or allow them to redo assignments. I appreciate how often they post results and let me know how well my son is doing online. The principal has been wonderful and very responsive, he seems to always have a positive attitude and smile."

"The 2 people running this school are the 2 dumbest people I've ever talked to. No wonder they are running this school because they don't have enough brains to go anywhere else. I wouldn't trust the dean and principle to teach and watch over my dog whether along my child. I know I am pulling my child. If you want to be saving bail money rather than college money, by all means let your kids go here. The principle can't handle anything without hanging up like a coward. He's the dumbest of them all. How he got to be a principle is beyond me. My 1 year old has more brains than this loser. He doesn't know how to handle a parent or child. He just puts his tail between his legs and goes to his safe space."

"My little sister attends this school. I am glad it is her last year there. She is in a Special needs class and the teacher isnt the best but the problem lies within the helper they have in this Special needs Class. She is a sports coach and doesnt have patience with the kids. they hand out detention and iss like its candy. this school is in major need of reform. it is nearly impossible to get a hold of the principal(there is never an excuse for not returning a phone call. even if it is a couple days late still call.) the staff will all students liars and refuse to let them leave to the restroom if they feel ill (they called security on my sister because she refused to throw up in a trash bin and left the class to go to the bath room.) Reform is needed and it is needed now."
