Oh man, where to begin. The school is the feeder school for IB students, so it is the best option on paper for our child. However, this is a drastic down grade from Windsor Park. Don't have a crisis. Don't need any help. No one is ever available. No one will return your calls or emails. Everyone "passes the ball" to someone else in terms of responsibility. I definitely do not feel my child is cared for or supported here. This may be due to understaffing, or overworked, underpaid staff - but is highly noticeable. If your child goes there, just be diligent as best you can to make sure your child is cared for.

I wouldn't send my kids here. The administration has a high turn over rate and the teachers talk trash about the students. You go to speak with someone and the lady in the front is rude. Some of the teachers are wonderful and really care about the kids the rest are really bad.

Menger is a fantastic school. Everyone who works there puts kids first. My son had a great experience at Menger. The teachers love what they do, and it shows. The administration and counselor know each child by name and take time to build relationships with them. I have even witnessed the secretary and custodians interact with students in a kind and caring way. The principal, Dr. Barrera, and the AP, Mrs. Diaz, make sure that Menger is welcoming and safe for every one. The special education team is the best!

The experience at this school was good for some of my 4 children and it was great for others. The key to any successful student starts at home. Parent involvement is key. My children all graduated from high school and continued with their college education. 3 out of 4 have college degrees and the 4th one is doing well. It is up to the parent to recognize when their student is not getting what he/she needs and to address it with the school.

If you have a kid with special need or have learning differences, please don't enrolled them in here. We have too much trouble since we let our kid enrolled this school. They want all the students learned the same way and don't offered a other way to learned. They want all kids be equal and that's not realistic. We have a kid with learning differences and others conditions and every year is the same. We need to fight and fight for the right of our son. We are really disappointed because when we was thinking about if this school was good enough for our son, we talk with the school principal and ask her if they are prepared for kids with special needs and she said yes. Everything sound perfect until we got our kid in this school. The teachers and the staff are not prepared for kids like mine. So please, do the favor to your kids with special needs to go on different school, but not here.

My experience with Harold T. Branch Academy has nothing but positive! I have been able to get involved with so many different extracurricular activities. I have been able to take part in a paid internship, many honor societies, and volunteer opportunities. I have been able to accomplish so much by having the support of the teachers and staff. I finished my associate's degree at Del Mar College through dual enrollment. I never had to pay for any expenses, such as books, transportation to DMC, and tuition. If you are looking for a challenge, join this opportunity and see yourself grow academically and personally.

Adkins is a great school to go to when you are in middle school. My experience was, I had no friends I was totally new to this school and my other friends went to a different school. I went to Adkins because my home was closer so I couldn’t see my friends again. The people in Adkins made me feel welcomed and happy. All though there is loads of drama in school, most people don’t take it personal and become physical with one and other. They care about us, are health and are education. Some teachers are not very nice but there are lots of nice and respectful teachers like Ms.Nix the 6th grade math teacher. I hope this helps!
