4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy child will not return to this school. They are behind other schools in the area. My daughter has said that the teacher was often rude to students and she wasn't very friendly to me either. They don't seem to make parent teacher relations a priority either and the staff always seem too busy to be polite. It's a shame that our kids get treated the way they do at this school. They don't want to hear your opinions or you apart of the team. They need new teachers and a new principal because this staff is nothing but rude women.Parent Review11y ago - Del Dios Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school is blatantly racist against students of color and faculty does nothing to stop it. If you want your child to have their rights valued and protected, wouldn’t choose this school or district.Parent Review7mo ago
