About Us

Lake Gibson Middle School is located in Lakeland, Florida. We have a population of approximately 1122 students divided as follows:

Lake Gibson Middle School has a proud and distinguished heritage. Built and dedicated in 1975 as Lake Gibson Junior High with grades 7,8, and 9; the school adopted the middle school concept and was renamed Lake Gibson Middle School in 1994 with grades 6, 7, and 8. In 1996, the school added a two-story building to house an additional 16 classrooms.

Lake Gibson Middle School’s population varies between 1100 – 1200 students. The school houses seven portable classrooms due to the continued growth of student population. 

We enjoy a strong partnership with the community and currently, there are 40 businesses listed as providers of time, talent, goods, and monies to assist us in preparing our students for the demands of today’s workforce. Lake Gibson Middle School is the only middle school in our region awarded Five-Star School status every year since the program began.

We are located in a rural area of North Lakeland with a large feeder pattern. There are seven elementary schools that feed into Lake Gibson Middle School. 

Lake Gibson Middle School received a school grade of "B" from the Florida Department of Education for the 2009 school year.

 Pictured here are dog tags that students may acquire by signing a 'no bullying' pledge. We have also ordered curriculum entitled 'Don't Laugh At Me' which will be introduced in the Critical Thinking classes. You can help us by having a serious conversation with your child about bullying. Please emphasize that it is never OK to be on either end! Students who are the target of bullies should always tell a trusted adult. Students who bully others need to be made to realize that it is not cool and bullying behavior is not acceptable and will not be tolerated.
