This school is horrid. My child graduated from the middle school program in June, and had the the absolute worst experience. Bullying is horrible, fights in the bathrooms, cyberbullying, threats, rumors, everything you can think of. The middle school is INCREDIBLY small, less than 100 kids for the entire program, with 30 kids per grade. (6th, 7th, 8th) The new principal does not know how to handle the middle schoolers, let alone elementary aged children.My child was relentlessly bullied by classmates, and teachers did absolutely nothing. Teachers pretend to care, and waste classtime every chance they get. Bullying, and social isolation is extremely common, and god forbid your child is special needs. This school does not deserve the awards it gets. The new principal rewards average behavior, and forces the older kids to mingle with younger children.Did I mention there is only ONE class for the middle schoolers? No lockers, no moving classes, no schedule. Just in one classroom the entire day with a measly 15 minute break and lunch. The school is horrible at preparing its middleschoolers for highschool, and has little to no extracurriculars. The robotics team is run by two women who do not know what they are doing, there is no GATE program, no sports, absolutely nothing. This school is not a good school! Students are rude, staff is ignorant, and parents are even worse.

This school is the best out all the other school in Compton the teachers surppot the students very much that why I Love this school so much they have control of their students and care about their students very munch their band is very good!!!!!!!!!!! BUNCHE MIDDLE SCHOOL ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!##

I have attended this school for almost 4 years and my experience here has been mostly great! Ever since the pandemic occurred many great changes have been made to the school. There are plenty more clubs to join like cheerleading or track. More rigorous courses like AP or Honors have been added. The teachers have also helped out more in the courses. Many of the students here are great (if you hang around the right people). School counselors have helped many of us with our college applications, they even helped me get into many cal states and universities of California. I won’t act like there aren’t any negatives to this school because there are. Many fights do happen at this school, but since the pandemic, the number of fights have been lowered. When I was a freshmen almost one fight would occur each week! In the past 3 years only one fight would occur each month. Some teachers also don’t teach as much as they should in the harder courses. For example, my AP psychology teacher would almost never teach us anything, and when we had the exam almost everyone failed it. The school lunches here could also be a hit or a miss, but they are free.When you count the negatives and the positives, the positives outnumber the negatives. You can join many fun clubs and the rigorous courses can help you stand out in college applications. The teachers here are mostly great and so are the counselors. Once I graduate next month I can proudly say that I was an APACHE!
