Allow me to say that there is no "perfect" school. I can't also accurately rate this school as l have just graduated 6th grade- And let me tell you it was a horrifying experience.. Not exactly with the staff , but with the children attending. The 14-15 year 6th graders were a train wreck, as many were just trashy and somewhat rude. Sure, people got some of the best grades, which is why l don't blame the school. The school helped them learn but not to fix their behavior. The 7th graders, l hung out a lot with them this year. Again, SOME were trashy but the majority of the kids are kind & understanding. Most of the seventh graders excel in school as l asked for their grades. The 8th graders are really kinda just uncaring about life, as l assume they feel free in the world, being the last in Middle school. I've a couple friends here & there. - Alright, now on with the school itself. For an exploratory, Art has Ms. Conder, who is a somewhat nice person that can and will appreciate almost any creation. Band went through a cycle of four music teachers. THe first is Mr. Solomon (Now up for district office,) Ms. Savon, a woman that fantasized over perfection (And let me tell you that all our bands that she played with all got a superior,) Ms. Terrell, newcomer BD, and we've just been introduced to Mr. Rodriguez, who will start teaching the band during the 15-16 school year. Choir has Mrs. Rodriguez, who is not related to Mr. Rodriguez. She is very strict and will not accept any mistakes with her performances. ASB & AVID both have Mrs. Hoffman, a woman l cannot simply explain. She's a wonderful person if you don't set her off. (Join band! :D) The schedule l had was with Ms. Brill for HR, Ms. Hamilton for Math, and Mr. Rex for science. Ms. Brill, from my experience, isn't really the teacher you would wish for. She's a bit strict. Ms. Hamilton is now retired, l don't think I'd help if l told you about her. She's nice, though. Mr. Rex is a fun guy, that's all l have to say. Stereotypes l hear about other teachers: Mr. Warren, ELA & SS; Sometimes safe, sometimes horrifying. Mr. Basantes, Math & Sci; Just an average man, l guess. Ms. Solomon, ELA; noPE BYE Ms. Gillespie, SS & ELA; yay I'll just stop here. For the 14-15 school year, you only run 1/2 or a mile during PE on days; Pretty rarely at that. The locker rooms are obv. segregated by gender, but if you happen to be transgender you are assigned the room of your sex. (i.e Female to Male stay in the female locker room) You do get your own lockers, as well as one of the taller lockers to store your stuff unnecessary for PE, like your backpack and your school clothes. You can purchase PE clothes during registration. For your "outdoor needs," there's campus supervisors. Let me tell you that as much as they joke around, they are VERY strict. Once, l was just sitting down on the grass & Mr. Neil, l think his name was, gave me trash pickup for sitting in an "inhumane fashion" (I had one leg crossed and the other by my thigh.) I thought he was joking, but it actually did happen. He was joking, though. (he likes seeing kids suffer :^>) They always force you to have your school ID on you at all times, and obviously take away your phone (while complimenting your case.) when in sight. Many just rebel and use them in hidden sight, though. Screw that, everyone does that. - The bathrooms & general hygiene there aren't all that great, as the 6th graders' washrooms don't use mirrors. The upperclassmen's do get mirrors, but they're all scratched, beaten, or cracked. Many people don't flush and l know that there's some girls who leave their monthlies on the floor or stick them on the wall. Once, l saw a huge glomp of toilet paper, covered in turd and seemingly urinated on, surrounded by even more used monthlies. I feel very sad for the Janitor. l've even heard things about the boys urinating on the floor and the walls, or sometimes the sink, which are in sight from the door. I think you should let your child attend but consider the actual school. The staff is reasonable for the best middle in MoVal.

The school is pretty alright, The teachers are kinda rude at times, Mrs. Esquivel is the best teacher on my schedule. There's a couple of fights and drama that goes on but it's decent and pretty alright.

i go to this school and it is a good school. way better than mother-fing palm...

Its my home school. The teachers always help (most of them), and do the best they can. Shout out to Mrs Earle-Rodriguez for showing us how to put on a great show. Most of the kids know how to behave a little bit. That's good. Not a completely bad school.

This school was awesome I went there for a little bit and I liked it everyone welcomed me

It may have alot of bad things happening there but its still a great school. And i guess its pretty say theres always police there so yea

They strive on pulling the best out of my children, thanks to them they will have a bright future, AVID program the best, thanks Miss Saldana!!!

There is a great sense of unity at that school. The teachers work together to see and attend to all of the needs of the students.
