I, as a student attending this school, think that Seaside Middle School (SMS) is a pretty good public middle school. If you're looking for some type of pretty landscape, neat, perfect school, then you should be searching in the "private schools section". There is cursing, but I highly doubt other middle school students don't curse. The technology is pretty updated, students are all given a free laptop (which we all have to return to the school after the school year), the smart boards and stuff are all pretty new, and...... Next year we will be having two electives a day and there are plenty of choices, I'd say around 15 or so? There's Orchestra and Band (beginning and advanced classes) and Jazz Band (which is advanced-advanced Band), Computer Science (advanced and beginning), Choir, Ceramics, Art (painting, sketching, etc.), Japanese and Korean classes, Dance, Leadership, Photography, Digital Arts (designing school clothing, website, etc.), Psychology, Creative Writing, Film Study, AVID, SMS Editorial (online yearbook creating), Weight Training, Wide World of Sports, Outdoor and Wilderness Science, and Garden Science. (There's more I think) The teachers are wonderful, and the students are pretty nice (unless you offend someone for no reason). Overall, I definitely think that your child or you should come to this school and see how it is. By the way, we're always the winning team in basketball, soccer, and other sports so...... ;)

Absolutely the worst school we have ever encountered across 14 years of school aged children educational experiences. The principal is so removed and completely inactive with regards to any issues at the school - she even makes her own staff and faculty turn a blind eye to the issues in their classrooms. No opportunities for activities, advanced curriculum, or higher educational opportunities to those excelling. This school is only good for one thing - breeding foul language and violence. It’s awful. Avoid at all costs. If you’re forced to attend MPUSD district, then put in for a school transfer ASAP. Keep your kids out of here at all costs.

Principal does not support teachers. Teachers are not qualified. Too many subs. Students are not safe. There have been multiple fights and race was a factor. Very sad.
