Gorrell is located on Massillon's northwest side. We have a population of 360 wonderful students. The school is made up of 17 classrooms ranging from kindergarten through fourth grade, with 13 regular education classrooms, two self-contained gifted classrooms,  and two learning disabled resource classrooms. We have a small group instructor who provides daily tutoring to students with learning disablities and two Title 1 teachers that service all grade levels.

All of the students receive art, music, computer and physical education (including swimming) throughout the school year.

Gorrell prides itself with our Peacemaker climate. Students are encouraged to practice being a Peacemaker by committing to the following:
