Read what parents are saying about Challenger Middle SchoolMy child attends this school and is currently in the 8th grade. TEENS should be getting ready for high school instead they look like elementary students.The rating of this school is a ZERO for me. BULLYING is a PANDEMIC at that school. Seems like the students run the school while administration watch like it's a circus there. SUPERINTENDENT should manage his district and SERIOULY apply the ZERO TOLERANCE rule!His role is SUPERINTEND an organization. I seriously recommend other schools until they make a serious change and not just put a band aid on everything there. Challenger Middle Scholl and the staff in it are an EMBARARRASSMENT to our kids school. Just ask them if any of their kids are in that school, of course not! They are homeschooled. Wonder why. The kids school grades are like those of elementary kids. Please don't blame it on the poverty stuff, you can be poor and be smart. The reason is that the school gets more funding if left this way. So kids are to believe that this is NORMAL GRADES for them since they live in a low poverty area, REALLY! PARENTS DO YOUR RESEARCH!
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2024Challenger MS is located in a tough, underserved food desert in the northeast corner of LA County. I am disappointed in the school district and school board allowing CMS to remain an extremely low performing school. I recommend creating an alternative, academically focused program in the school to provide students better options. If not, parents must consider transferring to other schools, as there is no academic focus at Challenger.
Posted by a teacher on 8/18/2023RSP teacher is rude and yells and kids,one good teacher is Ms.Prieto she teach's 5th grade,kids vape and have stuff.
Posted by a student on 5/1/2023Unfortunately there is a math teacher at this school who yells constantly at students and even fellow teachers. It really takes a toll on the school environment.
Posted by a community member on 6/19/2022The school has improved over the last 3 years. It is not easy to run a school in a neighborhood with many children from dysfunctional homes, and children living at poverty level. Some parents are very involved in their kids' education, while others are not able to stay on top or to help. Taking all this into consideration, the school is doing a good job.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been subbing at various districts. There seems to be MANY passionate teachers but the system is flawed. Retention of teachers, treatment and pay seem to be an issue. Observations based on my experience working in global pharmaceutical companies, efficiency and streamlining practices are not utilized. Seems a bit archaic in process for certain areas. I am looking at career transitions in hopes of being able to mentor youth into the science field, but remains to be seen if I can jump over the hurdles. I know what I can offer, but feels that returning to the lab maybe inevitable at this rate of experience subbing...Flexibility is seen at the school level (middle/elementary), but the over arching district seems to be focused in the wrong places and stringent. Students not meeting standards at their grade level are handled differently and should be separated from the rest of the class to learn. I'm not speaking lightly on this topic... 6th graders are performing at a 4 grade level math, blaming covid hasn't seemed to fix the problem on 2023. I have had students ask me questions in spanish in 4th grade while another student translated... How did they get here?? Who is responsible for allowing this? How is this helping them learn what they should be in school? You can make changes if leadership is supportive.. that remains to be seen too here. I wouldn't recommend my child at this school unless they figure out a way to supplement these kids with assistance. Pulling them between classes seems very disruptive to students who are meeting grade requirements - there are other ways to provide additional support.... which includes compensating appropriately as well. I'm an complete outsider looking in who has spent over 20 years teaching in my pharma research labs always thinking out side of the box.I'm trying to understand that education box...Other Review5mo ago - Wilsona Achievement Academy
