This has to be THE MOST incompetent school in San Diego county!!! Good luck trying to get anyone to answer your phone call, let alone return a voicemail!
I was assured and promised by one of the principals that they would personally have my son's transcripts sent over to his new High school, which NEVER happened! It is now a week into the school year and they refuse to answer my calls or emails and I am still waiting so my son can enroll into class. He is falling behind every single day and they don't care!! They make everything so frustrating and impossible!

This school has a pool and teaches many students who have not learned to swim the life saving skill. It also promotes presentation literacy. the staff is supportive and makes the three years of middle school enjoyable while offering students the opportunity to be challenged as leaders.

This school is terrible. It is mainly the staff. I go here now and am dis respected and treated like dirt by the staff and teachers. They have recently told me that since im 14 I do not have my rights. I was told this by several teachers and my friends also said that they were told that. They treat us like we don't have our rights too. Its awful. Do not come to this disgrace to I.B. schools.

The teachers here can tell when a student looks sad or disappointed and will ask why and if this problem is serious then they can send them to the school councler and they will listen

With all the clubs your student can develop a character inside them finding what they would like to become in the future
Posted: October 9, 2017
The are always opportunities to sign up for clubs like after school sports and yearbook club and a lot more
Posted: October 9, 2017
There are special classes with students that have a little trouble
Posted: October 9, 2017
Every year there is a week where we say no to bullying and for example crazy hair day, pajama day, twin day, and Disney day.
Posted: October 9, 2017
I would say this is one of my favorite middle schools and that all staff that work there are kind and friendly
Posted: October 9, 2017
The homework her is simple and they never pile any homework on any student
Posted: October 2, 2015
We need the chrome books to go home NOW because I need my computer for work and there are hours of homework most nights during the week and even over the weekend when projects are due.

There are some great teachers there despite the low level leadership of the principal. I fear, however, it is just a matter of time the lazy leadership style trickles down and negatively affects the staff, if it hasn't already. When the leader is not going above and beyond, and in fact isn't even hitting par, what makes staff motivated to do so? This affects students in the long run and no one gives 100%. The leader needs to set the tone and this one sets a bad tone in the school.

Most teachers at this school are fabulous. Some seem to be lazy and the leadership seems to be very lazy.

This school studies character traits in their home room every morning each month. I think this is great.

I go to school here and I NEVER see any bullying problems. As a student I should know because I go the Mon-Friday. I honestly don't even know where to begin, I enjoy a lot considering I'm about to enter 8th grade and have LOVED 6th and 7th grade. I still keep straight A's with 3 honors classes and the staff are great. From knowledge I have only heard of 1 fight and it was dealt with fast. Ok I don't know if other schools do this but our AP (Assistant Principle) hosts assemblies during our PE period at least every 3 months, there we discuss everything going on at school. She emphasizes on anti bullying and reminds us on school rules. I don't know what kids tell their parents but my teachers actively exchange emails with both my parents so they are up to date. The honors program is pretty fast and you are expected to work at a fast pace and actually know your peers so I DO enjoy it. Well anyway this is just my point of view, sorry of it came out a little sloppy but I am kind of enraged that the score was previously 3 stars. I actually stumbled upon this by searching up when we start school again...
