Gaston Point Elem. is a school that cares for each child's success and their potential and takes the time to identify their learning styles, while working to meet their individual needs.

Gaston Point Elem. is a great school that takes the time to meet the needs of each student on an individual basis.

As a member of the Gaston Point Elementary Family, it is my duty to ensure that we live our mission of Every Decision, What is Best for Children, Every Time! This motto is adhered to on a daily basis. I am proud to call GPE home.

I believe that Gulfport School District and Gaston Point truly live their motto of "Excellence for All." It is about the individual child.

The teachers work unrelentingly helping their students meet their academic goals and to be successful in life.

This is a community friendly school where there is an open door policy. The staff are committed to helping children and go above and beyond to help their students succeed. It is a privilege to work here.

Gaston Point is a great school that believes "It takes a village to raise a child." The administrator and staff work diligently to prepare EVERY student for middle school and the real world. The school has an open door policy and welcomes the community to volunteer to help with tutoring and mentoring. Thanks Gaston Point for the things you do daily to prepare the future leaders of tomorrow.

I love my boss and wonderful co-workers and the school staff is great.

I enjoy working at a job that is different and I love the kids, they make me laugh every day.

I have worked here 25 years, enjoy working with my supervisor and enjoy kids.

The Gulfport schools have been blazing the trail for the state of MS by being the only school district in the state to fully implement the Common Core State Standards on behalf of the state department of ed. The teachers have received statewide and local notoriety for their efforts. Two members of the instructional department were selected to serve on the state's national PARCC team. Our district is progressive; for example, all 9th-10th grade students have been provided en e-reader to lighten the load of the book bags. Other technological advances are being made available to our teachers, students, and principals. All core classes have interactive whiteboards. We have redesigned our high school to give students career-based opportunities and early college experience during their junior and senior years. The arts are important to developing a well-rounded student. Our music programs (band, choir, and strings) are among the best in the country and world! How do I know? We continue to win sweepstakes awards each year and have been invited to Disney and Germany to showcase our talents! Athletics? We are the home of state champions in soccer, basketball, and weight lifting. Our Marine ROTC teaches leadership and continues to win state and regional competitions as well. We hold ourselves and our students to high levels of excellence. Gulfport is a great education destination!

SN: Those of us who work for the district may bring our children with us if we live out of district. I'm proud to say, we chose GSD. Best decision we could have made. My children's feeder pattern: West-Gulfport Central Middle-Gulfport High led my sons to honors programs and academic scholarships. This school is no exception! High standards coupled with hard work leads to a successful child.

This school adheres to all the strict requirements of the USDA when preparing/serving their meals.

Good school and staff!
