My experience in Pacoima Middle School was really good, I'm culminating in middle school already. This school is good because I've met amazing people and teachers who supported me along the way. The staff here at Pacoima are supportive and they are all so sweet. The school has taught me multiple life lessons in life and it has helped me express myself more. Pacoima Middle School is a great school because it has nice paintings, a nice p.e field, and the classrooms are also nice as well.

Pacoima Middle School is an amazing school that has given all of my kids new opportunities to succeed in the future. The Performing Arts Magnet program is a hidden gem in the valley! Even if your child does not want to pursue a performing arts career, the program still teaches the skills needed for your children to succeed. All of my three kids have learned kindness, responsibility, and discipline. The teachers care about the students and want them to succeed. The staff is very friendly as well.

Was a student there a couple months ago utterly disgusting, teachers dont even care about you youre nothing but a number to them. The only person that actually helped was the magnet coordinator other than that the principal is incredibly hard to get in touch with. During the mandate teachers would takeoff their mask in class affecting students around them. Teachers would just assign work instead of teaching. The children were horrendous. They would bully me and other kids just because they were a little bit different. If youre a parent looking for a good school for your child please do not send them here one of the worst experiences of my life.

The teachers allow for independence while still being vigilant and informing parents when a child is falling behind or not turning in work usually same day.

My son is in his second year at this school in the Magnet program and he's had only positive interactions with his teachers!

Posted: September 9, 2020

My son is in the Magnet program and is never told he cannot try or attempt something new within the Film/Media scope. Creativity is definitely pushed and appreciated!

They are not treated bad. Your info has no merit and seems to me you are just ignorant how it works! If you were a parent who really cared enough to be involved, like others who did attend you would have taken 10 minutes to fill out the form required to have your child be in the program. Instead of insulting and assuming you never even attended! Well that is if there grades / GPA met the standards we worked to be in there it wasn't handed to use it was purely strong academics.
