Pcjted - Aztec Middle College East

My kid goes to this school and she is a girl I told me the girls bathroom has no mirrors for the girls and only the boys have it I very much think this is so sexist and very disappointing.

The teachers here and all the staff are top notch. Couldn't ask for better. My kids luv going here.

Principal Loya can be a mean person with little regard for the feelings of others, this includes his staff. He is not the ideal role model for elementary school age children. A principal for this age group should encompass a warm friendly demeanor and motivate others with positive vibes. He is all about fear and bullying. During a conference, he was threatening to our child who was reluctant to come to school. As parents, my husband and I were shocked, appalled and angry at his lack of problem solving abilities with a small child. The logical way to handle this situation would be to comfort the child and explore the child's feelings and address the fears; not increase them. Offer positive incentives such as lunch with principal, or a warm fuzzy. We withdrew our child that day. An opportunity to educate and build a positive relationship was wasted. His ability to own up to his failure by apologizing to our child was also wasted. He could have demonstrated that mistakes will happen but we can take responsibility for our actions and make it right. As the clincher to the meeting , he let us all know, he hates his job and still has to come every day.

This school used to be really good, but everything changed when they got a new principal. In my opinion, the current principal has made some terrible decisions, especially when it comes to hiring teachers. It feels like they hire people who have no patience with students and don't really know how to teach. I went to this school from 6th through 8th grade. When I first transferred here in 6th grade, everything was great. The teachers actually cared, they explained things well, and school was enjoyable. But around the middle of 7th grade, everything started going downhill. By the time I got to 8th grade, the school didn't feel like the same place anymore. He also gave us surprise quizzes and tests that counted for a huge part of our grade, even though he never really taught the lessons. The class became more stressful than educational, and a lot of students struggled because of it. The worst part was how he treated students. I remember one day when my friend laughed at something during class. The teacher was already in a bad mood, so he walked over, got right in my friend's face, and started yelling at him. He was so close that he was literally spitting while he yelled. Later that same day, he talked to me disrespectfully too. I responded, and he got right in my face as well. My friend and I reported what happened, but the principal only gave him a warning. As far as I know, he's still teaching there today. He would also make excuses whenever he got something wrong. He always blamed it on his "back issues" or his "surgery." I understand people have medical problems, but I don't see what that had to do with making mistakes while teaching or grading. It wasn't just that one teacher either. The school always seemed to make everything more complicated than it needed to be. They would change schedules, add unnecessary steps to simple things, and waste everyone's time. It got frustrating for students and parents. My parents, other students, and I all talked to the principal about the problems at the school, but nothing ever changed. It honestly felt like nobody was listening. The teacher stayed, and everything just kept getting worse. I know people like to say that kids are dramatic or blame teachers for everything, but I'm not making this up. This is what I experienced while I was there. I've only been at this school for about three and a half years. I've seen so many students move to different schools because they were unhappy, and I honestly don't blame them
