West Fresno Middle School

My experience at OC has been a fun adventure, the community here? I would say that its safe, theres like no fights at here at all, or pretty much anything really bad. In my opinion it's a safe environment here, like I have never seen a kid be bullied here or anything. In the classrooms? I would say its really fun and exciting most of the time, though there is time you'll get a lot of homework, essays, I'm in 8th right now, and bout to graduate so I'm mostly describing my last year and stuff. But right now the school got a little stricter, and it has been helping us a lot. We been getting new teachers lately and they been helping all of us especially academically like most of the students in my class test scores (all classes) went up by like 5, 10 or 15% which is REALLY good. I would say the only really bad thing about OC is the food because the food is bad most of the time like it doesn't taste good and stuff but this may be the last year of bad food, because we're getting a kitchen next year, so hopefully the food would be better. There is electives here, sometimes there's sports elective and health and nutrition electives, computer science electives. But for the musicians I guarantee you there is always a music elective but probably not the music you want to play.For people who want to know if there's sports? Yes there is. OC has Baseball, softball, volleyball (boys), volleyball (girls), basketball (girls/boys), soccer (girls/boys) and flag footballThe staff here is like fun and good, Since OC is small we all interact with each other like a community so a lot times you'll see staffs playing with kids or interacting with them. Just Having fun.Overall I would say this school is a good school overall. OC is small so all of us just like become closer with one another and have fun while learning.The only bad part would be some teachers will like get you detention for like shooting the ball after the bell ring and coming in the school late, and the food, but lately we been getting good food so that might changed. For the people who say this school is bad for like no reason, Or they got detention for being late, they probably were just bad kids and they usually hate the school that they get in trouble in. Just listen or behave, just be mature, or like if you woke up late and stuff, that is your fault. It is your responsibility to wake up early and get to school early. Also OC does have field trips, summer school, and intersessions.

Most horrible school I seen needs to be shut down

This is the greatest school I have ever attended. In my 25 years of living, I have never been presented with such a loving community of people. even my own family hasn't loved me compared to this school and its faculty. I would recommend this to everyone.

There were quite a few times I wanted to talk to the principal for a few minutes, but she was always so busy and was told I had to make an appointment. I had even went to the teacher and the principal regarding my child's falling grades and was told there are no supports that the school could offer to help my child further along in my child's education. This school had a terrific coach of almost 20 years. The principal fired him and never gave students the opportunity to say goodbye to him as alot of students and parents were close to him. Since then, the sports programs have gotten worse in planning and coordinating. The principal has done a terrible job including parents this year in school affairs. So many events have been poorly planned this year. Test scores, and academics are down horribly. The only thing that makes this school great is the teachers and office administration, they are wonderful. They do so much for the students and parents. Lincoln Elementary needs a new principal.
