Such kind parents, kids and teachers. A small school with big heart. The best free afterschool primetime program with ms. Rosa. Do the free Wednesday tour—your kids will love it here.

My son has to hold his urinate everyday because he is not comfortable going to the restroom since he has witnessed some older kids vaping in there. It seems like they have had this problem for a long time and I wonder why it hasn't been resolved? There was one time that my son couldn't hold his urinate anymore and he tried to look for a restroom, but all of them were closed right after school. I am not sure if that's the way for this school to solve the problem about kids vaping by locking the boys restrooms after school? Also, it's so hard to get a hold of a counselor here. They don't respond back to emails or calls. This school is so unorganized. It's so frustrating.

B+ is the grade I would give.

I went to school here a couple years ago, when I told this girl I didn't like kpop she kicked me in the shins and cried but the pe teacher only punished me by sending me to the principals office for hurting somebody's feelings, keep in mind I only said "eh kpop".I forget what the teachers names are but two of the white male history teachers would say the nword, pretty sure one retired but idk about the other.

I am a substitute teacher, and recently had a single day assignment at this school. Let me start off by saying that I am a fully credentialed teacher, and have subbed at the vast majority of middle schools within San Diego Unified. My experience at this school was nothing short of shocking. Every school no matter where you go has the classroom "handfuls," but at this school these students have zero respect for adults and lie to teachers like it's a knee jerk reaction. Very sad state of affairs. Apparently there are no consequences at this school, and you can tell that from the attitude of the trouble makers. It's probably a school that subscribes to the notion of "restorative justice." It's sad that the school lets the classroom trouble makers ruin the educational experiences of the majority of students who genuinely appreciate the value of education. The funny thing is that I had subbed at Mann Middle School down the street the day before, and it was a night and day difference. Like I tell people all the time, the atmosphere of the school dictates everything. From the administrators, to the resource assistants, and teachers. If everyone isn't on the same page, then the students will suffer!
