I hate this place so much there are so many fight, most teacher and mean and horrible to the students or are just creepy towards the students. Some teachers at Bonita Vista Middle School may lack the necessary training or motivation to deliver high-quality education. There have been complaints about outdated teaching methods and a lack of engagement in the classroom. Without innovative and effective teaching strategies, students are less likely to be motivated and perform well academically. The school's disciplinary policies have also been a point of contention. There are claims that the policies are either too lenient or inconsistently enforced, which contributes to a chaotic school environment. Students may feel that there are no real consequences for their actions, leading to increased behavioral issues. Not to mention the student safety, Many students feel unsafe or unsupported, which negatively impacts their ability to focus on their studies. The school's failure to effectively address these issues creates a hostile environment for students. The school also doesn’t feed the kids the best food many student have gotten extremely sick from the schools lunch, we have tried to de-bunk the sources of the problem but it has been proven almost impossible to find the root of our problem. Overall I would not recommend this school.

I have had my children and other family members attend BVHS. Wonderful caring teachers, incredible and very involved Principal and admin. Athletics are very good, with both female and male sports inclusive and successful. More than half the student body plays a sports at the school. Band, Music Machine, Dance Team, Sports Medicine program, BVTV, IB/AP classes are some other amazing programs offered. We have known many students involved in a variety of these activities, all have had great experiences. We are lucky to have this school in our community.I also read some other reviews and felt compelled to write about our personal experiences. There are always kids and parents who don’t have as good of an experience. I have noticed less involved parents/kids in general in society…who like to blame others and not take accountability. It’s everywhere. But BVHS is great place if you want it to be!

This school CONDONES bullying and PERMITS bullies to continue to attend this school regardless of their actions towards other students. My child was bullied for 7 months. The bully would seek out my child, follow and instigate the abuse. It would occur in class, at lunch, at recess, even in the bathroom. The bully would corner my child on the blacktop. The bully would push, pull, smack my child among other very aggressive things. The bully would derail my child’s friendships. My child was vocal during every incident and would tell the bully “Stop”, “ Leave me alone”, “ Dont touch me” the bully would respond, “ I dont care”, Im not going to stop, this isnt over”, “ Im gonna use my body not my words.” The bully committed acts of violence towards my child consciously, intentionally and without reason. Multiple teachers and school staff (i.e noon duties, subs, aids) witnessed the incidents my child endured during the time this abuse was occurring. On multiple incidents, other students in my child’s class were also witnesses to the abuse and would run to get staff’s help. They would also relay details of the incidents to the teacher and the principal leaving no gray area that my child was clearly the victim. At drop offs or dismissals, the bully’s parent even had the audacity to smirk at me, head held up high whenever we would cross paths.The parent was fully aware of what was going on and had demonstrated no remorse. The bully is still attending Allen.As a parent I did everything in my power to follow guidelines under law to stop the pattern of intentional harm my child was enduring EVERY DAY by a reckless, despicable student who was verbally, physically and emotionally abusive. I documented every detail of every incident. I would reach out to the principal (Mr. Greenwell) continuously and consistently every time an incident occurred, and was given the same barren response every time. I even requested a group meeting (parent principle district) and was denied it. The abuse persisted without FIRM consequences or ultimatums. I filed a report with school district and received NO RESPONSE. I didnt even receive a courtesy principal meeting as a follow up. Im now moving forward with this in an effective direction. While many parents will read this and be skeptical, the aforementioned is true. As a responsible loving parent, I seek the best for my child. I hope this review aids in the school choice of future parents should they be considering Allen Elementary.
