i do not recommend this school. kids are bullying each other and laughing at each other for small things and are very rude. especially girls and many boys too. teachers barely do anything about it either. racism. teachers teach ok but could be improved. overall i would give this school 4/10

One of the finest schools my G-kids ever attended! Whether the schools were in Temecula or the school near Henderson Nevada, where both boys did well, they just feel that their dedication to learning is being appreciated by someone other than the parents! Both boys were embraced by both faculty & students, and this is the way schools should be! I know that Big Bear focuses on the struggling kids as well, so keep up the all around excellence Big Bear!! Appreciatively, TWA

As a previous BBMS student I do feel the need to inform parents intending to send their children to this school of a few things. Yes I did feel the staff was genuinely looking after the best interest of the students, but the staff can only do so much. Especially for students who are new to the district, or for those of us who were more interested in the arts than sports or student government, the students at this school can be unbelievably cruel. I and all of my friends, and our siblings after us, experienced first hand the dark side of the clique-run social system, as well as the strong community biases held against those youth who are more eccentric. Since my graduation in '09, the administration has only worsened, making drastic cuts to the arts, music, and foreign language programs. I loved my teachers in this district, and the few friends I managed to make are lifelong, but these things do not make an education. My experience at Big Bear Middle School was nothing short of damaging, and the district policies are only getting worse.

The school has a serious bullying problem that needs to be investigated by the school board. Unfortunately their opinion is boys will be boys, while children are being taken to the hospital. This is not a good school, and these other reviews are probably put there by the teachers themselves.
