Gordon Russell Middle School

This school has been a pain on very many different occasions but I have met many amazing people here. I’m on my 8th grade year & soon to be in high school in about a month & a half. The teachers here bring on many challenges & some are not anywhere close to being my favorites, but I do have one in mind. Not so long ago we had gotten a new teacher in my LA class, & the teacher they had picked was, in my opinion, the best choice they could have ever made for that school, her names Ms.Thorne. Throughout our time together I am beyond amazed about how much she has changed my perspective of learning, & not only has she helped me a lot with bringing my grades up & being a better student, she has helped me get through my own personal problems. As well as caring for our future she also cares for our well being, she’s a very open person & it’s always so easy for me to tell her what’s going on because she’s so understanding. I may have not enjoyed my first two years of of middle school, & even the first two trimesters of my eighth grade year, but having her as my teacher is a blessing, & just for that, this school deserves 5 stars.

My kids love this school. Teachers are really good and go the extra mile to help the kids when needed. Wonderful sun program.

Great school for athletic events.

I have a son attending Gordon Russell currently, and he is thriving there. I went to Dexter McCarty when I lived in Gresham, and my son has one of my favorite teachers from that school, Mr. Stuhl. He has gotten great grades and the teachers have all been very supportive and available, even with as big a student body they have. Very pleased with Gordon Russell
