I enjoyed my time at Bloomington High. Great students and teachers.

I was an eighth grade English teacher at Harris Middle School a few years ago. I immediately found out that the students were working at the fifth/sixth grade level and did the best I could to help close that huge achievement gap. Students at the school are not used to a quality instruction with high expectations. I found the other teachers thinking that low achievement was normal and did not use differentiation that much to push students to achieve at grade level. One long time teacher at the school blamed the students for not doing well instead of himself and other teachers. That is not how it works; it is the teacher that makes students achieve. The administration was accepting of low achievement and that all was fine with them and the counselors were ineffective to say the least. I see since I had left that it has even went down in achievement. A total change needs to occur and get some administrators and teachers with high quality training and high expectations to change this school. I suspected the low expectations start at the district office with low quality administrators there and them hiring low quality friends to fill administrative positions. I could not wait for the school year to end and leave the Colton district and to move on to a high quality district where high achievement and student support is the highest priority.

Absolutely disgusting and horrible school. My child had an asthma attack and the teacher proceeded to call him dramatic. I sent a doctors note stating he had asthma and the front desk lady told my child he didn’t really have asthma and was just fat. Disgusting behavior to CHILDREN.
