It is a great school with a caring staff.

This school exhibits significant favoritism and bias, with staff members and student leaders, often engaging in bullying and stereotyping, leaving many students feeling outcasted. There's a pervasive culture of brown-nosing and a lack of teamwork, making those who aren't part of the in group feel rejected. Also, the sports training is extremely harsh and often continues in extreme weather conditions, which can be detrimental to student well-being. The sports policies require parents to sign waivers, shifting all responsibility for any injuries or even fatalities onto the parents, highlighting , the severe and unsafe conditions that students face..Many teachers are passive aggressive and condescending , often treating students as if they're incapable of understanding or deserving empathy. When students face genuine hardship and request extensions, these teachers are often dismissive and unsympathetic, reinforcing an unwelcoming atmosphere. The pickup and drop off is horrid with parents and students often sitting through multiple green lights before moving forward, and once they arrive, the school's roadblocks and detours make it feel like navigating a maze. This frustrating routine happens both at drop off and pick up. The school food is bland and tasteless , with small portions that barely satisfy students , some of it tastes old and outdated, and the menu pictures on the their website are pure catfishing.

We were zoned for a different middle school in the MVUSD but chose to send our son to DMMS because of the science and technology offerings and due to recommendations from teachers and neighbors who were familiar with the school. My son had a great experience his first year, so we enrolled our daughter the next year when she was entering middle school. We couldn’t be happier with the teachers, administrators, academic and social environment, condition of the school, and overall safety. This is a fantastic middle school.
