This was the worst school district my kids were in. The district is understaffed. Kids are violent a lot of gang activities all the way down to the middle school. There are videos and instagram pages displaying the violence.

teacher called my son the r slur because he's special needs, I am furious! As a special needs teacher you need to be able to work with children with special needs. Not call my son the r slur, it is very hurtful and he came home crying. I am done!

6th and 7th grade guidance counselor is by far the worst. As well as principal and teachers. Toxic and unprofessional environment. School needs a complete revamp!

I would give a zero if possible. The care of teachers here is beyond unbecoming of what they call themselves as educators. This school as well as district needs a massive revamp from the superintendent ALL the way down. If you can find a choice school or afford private, do it. Do not subject your child/ren to the lack of compassion this school holds for children. The reviews alone should scream to the state that this a horrible school.

My daughterÂ’s experience was not the best and neither was mine. There is always an issue with discipline at this school. The people in the office are not attentive to the students or parents. There is always that one administrator that wants to make a difference but is surrounded by other who are there for the paycheck. The students disrespect not only their peers but the principal. It was time for a change and I moved out of the district.

this school is amazing they have a great curriculum a lot of things to do at this school from band to basketball. there is nothing really bad about this school there is racism and a little bullying but from my experience i would recommend this school because they challenge u the teacher's care about u learning, the principal is very involved with the school and that a student should remember to study, do ur homework, and to pay attention in class.

I am an 8th grade student at Phifer Middle School. All my life I have attended a high end Catholic school, until last year. My time in Catholic school was terrible. I came to this school last year, this school honestly has an extensive amount of things to offer for a Middle School. You will be challenged a lot, and learn. There is only one problem with this school, racism and bullying. I have seen and heard so many hurtful and degrading things go on in this school. But I can honestly say through my experiences that I would recommend this school. But be open-minded and ready to learn because if your not you will fail. I learned this from my own mistakes. I wish this school luck in the future.
