Don't go to this school they are too strict, they don't allow you to bring food, you can get suspended for coming to school late, and the school buses take forever to come. I would rather go to the French school since they don't have uniforms, unlike Greenbelt. Teachers yell at you for no reason like if people next to you, there is more that I can say because how bad it is.

Perfect just so safe I recommend it

Omg my son went to it in 6th grade and he didn't know how to write and read and wow they taught him even tho I didn't even feel like it's a safe place for my 6th grade becuse the rating was 2.5 but it at least deserves a 4.3 for real like he accualy was safe especially with his teachers and friends at school it's a safe place

The days I attended this school were the best 3 years of my life tbh. They take bullying very seriously, even if one of the vice principals is really strict & sometimes scary, they won't allow big problems & incidents. In terms of learning, eh, here & there. There were some really good programs, like highschool level Biology course which puts you (or your child) one year ahead of everyone else in sciences! And they offer advanced math programs they same, but only for those who got that extra step ahead in elementary (I didn't attend one of those elementary schools, so I was on the still accelerated but not peak math path). But yeah overall, Eleanor Roosevelt High school is way too hyped up, Greenbelt Middle school is on par if not better than the other Greenbelt schools (Greenbelt Elementary might be one of the best too).

Mainly I say this was the best time of my life because my friendship networks were strong, I was thriving socially. I believe even someone who's not as good getting into middle school can benefit from this school because their counseling services are extensive, and the teachers definitely take mental health seriously.

I attended this school from 2021 to 2024, and looking back on my three years here, Id say it was a decent experience with some flaws. There were many chill and nice teachers, but as the saying goes, no school is perfect. Some teachers I encountered were, in my opinion that was mentally incompetent.
Additionally, the administration often handed out ineffective punishments for serious offenses, such as physical altercations between students. When students reported being bullied, the administration took an unnecessarily long time to address the issue, almost as if they didnt want to deal with it.
Lastly, the school lunch was awful. It was the same chicken chunks and fries every day, topped off with a small bag of Cheez-Its. The cheese pizza, which was also a regular option, tasted like rubber. I do not recommend this school

I don't like this school. Teacher are some what rude. Students are very rude.

Posted: December 2, 2023

This school sucks the staff treats students Mr. Clement is a bad principal they don't care about your mental health and the food sucks half of the time it's cold and I find hair and roaches in it the amount of work teachers give students is crazy and they expect you to do it in one day the students lie about each other talk about each other and they are crazy in general being a student at gms I have experienced all these things.

Posted: June 8, 2023

This school is very bad children are bad teaches are bad most teaches dont give good education and there are much better schools you can go to.

This school is a very bad place to send your students to. I have been here since 6th-8th grade, and we just keep getting disappointed. Although the principal or teachers may act nice in your face. In reality, they are rude just how the students are. Throughout the school I seen how one of the teachers handle the special education students roughly. I am never excited to learn at school, because we learn about the same thing every single day! The curriculum is bad, and the teachers are plain right lazy. This school would be good if your child was in TAG. But the rest of the classes are not good enough. Some teachers are actually reasonable and give you reassurance, while others are just plain rude. And it's most of the teachers here, even the principal's! They complain about the dress code, having a hood on or hat, but doesn't take a thought if something is going on with them today. The therapists/gudiance are complete trash. Your children will definitely not be safe at this school. Towards the beginning of the year, someone brung a gun and they never found out. Till the person used it on another student. The school reaches out to the family sometimes, but at a short notice. There are very sexist teachers here. Please if you just moved here, here's a suggestion. PUT THEM IN PRIVATE SCHOOLS!!! Or somewhere else but here. Mr. Clement isn't worth anything but nickels! The schedule advisor's do not help you at all. So now my daughter is stuck being in class with people that make her uncomfortable. And my daughter has gotten ISS (In School Suspension) just for using the bathroom! This is unacceptable!

my daughter Went to this MS. Horrible!! fights everyday in the school. its a very hostile environment to send your kids to!

Posted: May 9, 2022

This school is mid. Some teachers were disrepectful to some students. The principal never really has anything nice to say. The bathroom are always vandilized and they don't have any vegan free snacks.

Posted: January 2, 2022

I do not recommend attending this middle school. Teachers are lazy and strict. The teachers are disrespectful to students. Staff is rude and does not mind their business. Food is disgusting and overcooked. Lunch is the same food every single day. The Counselors are great and help with the students great. The counselors care about the students mental health unlike the teachers. The teachers treat students differently. If you arent in tag they will treat you differently than the tag students. Dont come to gms.

First of all, My kid came from a neighborhood elementary school. Before school started every year we would get to meet the teachers. When I was a kid, each summer before school started we would get to meet the teachers even in my high school which had 2000 people. Not here. The orientation for 6th graders is the day before, and sure parents can attend, but they can not meet teachers. YOU CAN NOT MEET YOUR CHILD'S TEACHERS until back to school night. When is that? Oh I'm not sure since they moved it. They also reissued schedules for students 2 weeks into school. The bus to the school was showing up after 9:00 the first week of school. I have called this school multiple times starting in the summer to inquire about electives. I WAS TOLD ON THE PHONE that all 5th graders picked their electives for 6th grade at the end of fifth. I spoke to several moms and that was not the case. So I called again was told schedules were being printed and would be mailed. Schedules were not mailed. They still don't have lockers. They've been in school for 2 weeks and learned absolutely zero things. I mean the transition from elementary to middle school is a pretty big deal to completely screw it up is beyong reprehensible. I have zero faith in this school to present a basic education for my son and we've been here 2 weeks.

Bullying is a natural part of this school.

Posted: August 22, 2017

The principal has no clue what he is doing.

Posted: August 22, 2017

This is the worst middle school that I have ever seen.

I was a student for 6th and 7th, 2013-2015 and not in the TAG program. I was an honors student in 7th grade. The school and the teachers were very nice. But many students get themselves into a lot of trouble and in general it was not something you would not want to see. The teachers that I had tried their best to avoid any fighting but the administration could careless.

Posted: December 17, 2016

I went here for 7th and 8th grade and both were questionable experiences. First, I wasn't in the tag program which meant I was on the "bad" part of the school. The tag students are treated like royalty they get better classrooms, less amount of students in their classroom like 14 kids compared to the normal classes that have like 40, they have separate lunches and better teachers. However, the "bad" side gets treated like and jail inmates. We get hoarded in groups to any location, the teachers could care less about your problems because they have to deal with the constant fights and drama in the classroom, there are many "students" that just go to socialize and couldn't care less about their education, if almost impossible to not get bullied in the hostile classrooms and the number of fights is actually depressing. Lunch is also terrible because you have to wait in a line that is basically of hoard of people, the lunch ladies have no patients and I have gotten cursed at numerous times, if you are at the back of the line once you get to the food options only thing left is a hamburger meat with a hot dog bun with no milk I'm not lying that's what we pay for. In the 8th grade both my math and science teachers quit before half the school year and I ended up having at least 4 different substitutes for my math class that were forced to somehow teach us the curriculum without any materials or assistance. One of the substitutes was an art teacher that had to teach us pre algebra with no teacher book or any materials I honestly felt bad for him. In the end, Greenbelt Middle School is not a good school for numerous reasons as you can see. Basically, all the teachers are forced to deal with drama in the classroom which restrains them from their teaching potential. If you aren't in the tag program DO NOT go to this school because it WILL affect your future in high school which builds on what you learned in middle school, it WILL affect you socially because of all the bullying and it WILL affect your motivation to attend school. If you can try to attend another middle school and if you can't brace yourself. And lastly, I attended this school between 2014-2016 the school hopefully will change in the future because my brother will soon attend the school and I don't want the same for him. Thanks for reading this review and I hope it enlightens you in choosing a school.

If your child is in the TAG program Greenbelt is a great school. If not, the children are herded like sheep. No individual care because the class sizes are too large. TAG = 14 students to a class/ Regular Population = 40 students to a class!!!!!!!!!!!!! This make no sense at all. Tax payer dollars going to waste once again! A national disgrace.

Posted: March 5, 2014

Greenbelt middle school has a beautiful new building and a TAG/HONORS program. The choir is wonderful and the art teacher is good. The school is large and enrollment is high. The staff and teachers are talented teachers but the school is not good at communicating with parents on an individual level. There are problems with bullying and fights. The school is not very good for children who have learning issues, like ADHD, while they seem to do well with children who are handicapped. My daughter has been bullied and teased at school and the lack of communication, and spotty use of technology for communiation by teachers and staff has made our experience a poor one.

Posted: January 13, 2014

This school houses a TAG magnet program which my child attends, so parents of comprehensive students may have a different take, but I am very pleased with how things are going so far. My child is appropriately challenged here. The teachers are great. The use of technology is a little scattershot, and the platforms are not perfect, but overall we're very happy. The school handled an incident between my child and another student EXACTLY they way you hope they would, and everyone is OK with how the incident was resolved. I gave the "parent involvement" category two stars only because as it is a magnet program that's not exactly close to where we live, it's challenging to be directly involved as a working single parent.

its a fun place to be at and we have fun days and events such as our non uniform upcoming picture day. our teachers are nice and want the best for us. we have great clubs and things you can join

greenbelt middle school is great it has great teachers staff and the new building. i am a student there and i love it

Posted: August 22, 2013

Good for its wonderful science classes. My son likes very much. There are so many kindly teachers and students.

Posted: May 12, 2013

Horrible school. There are no parent/teacher meetings. Greenbelt Middle School does not encourage parent involvement or use technology such as emails to communicate homework, projects and grades.

Posted: April 4, 2013

I am a student there and I love it! I've never been happier. The people are great and I've never been bullied. The classes are reasonably sized and there are a lot of choices for creative arts. I would like it better if there were all new teachers that didn't absolutely hate children, though. Some teachers also don't even speak English well enough, and I can't understand what about half of them are trying to say. Their grading is unfair, so I often have to get my parents involved. I think that Mr. Tweedy is a great principal and the school has improved so much with him. Every year the school seems to get better, and better. The new school has a lot of technology and it really helps with the learning. Everything is a lot nicer and cleaner. I've heard that some of the 6th and 7th grade classes are too full though, there was even a waiting list.

Lots of fight in school. This is my child 2nd year there, he has very good grades and he is a very quiet child. He has been picked on last year and now this year again. Tonight he cried because he had enough of bad kids making fun of him and hitting him for no reason. I am sad and praying that he can finished and leave the school.

Posted: April 9, 2011

Greenbelt Middle School Has Changed On A Level With Mr.Tweedy As It's A.P ! The School Now Has Camera's On Almost All The Hallways. Luckily There Is A New Building On The Way Because The Appearance Of The School Is Horrible.
