Van Buren Middle School

They are letting my daughter be bullied and doesn’t say anything to her bully’s.

Have had so many problems with this school. Highly recommend NOT putting your in this school. My kids have been bullied and the teachers / principal does nothing about it. My daughter was hit by a boy and they only made the boy pick up trash in the play ground 1 day. There's no communication what so ever with the administration, and most of the administration are just rude and highly unprofessional. The nurse is not there full time just an assistant and she cant do everything a nuse can. With no nurse full time and lack of communication, I hope every day there's not an emergency. If it's not one thing it's another with this school. My kids strongly dislike this school and I agree with them. The only good thing about this school is the special education department they have helped my kids alot in areas they struggle in.

The teachers here at La Mesa have been working hard to improve the student success rate. They are very community based and help out families that need the help. The parents that I have met here have also been very supportive of the staff and the things that they do to help our kids. This school has done alot to help the children grow and learn. Thank you La Mesa for all you do!!

I’ve seen the principle(Mrs. Garcia) scream at the children, I can’t fathom how she still has a job.

The school has made a huge turnaround since the last comment was posted. In the last few years a new principal has come in that is extremely data focused. I see her message replicated in the teachers now. Students are making huge improvements in academics. Genius Hour is the most fun my child has ever had and she enjoys picking her new classes every few months. The teachers all seem very qualified or almost over qualified for their jobs. The school just has such a creative, caring and welcoming staff. I am super sad we will start online because I have been looking forward to seeing them all and enjoying the wonderful opportunities afforded to my child.

just nowNEWMy son came to Holy Ghost from another private Christian school. Hands down, he is getting the best education at Holy Ghost. The staff's main priority is the children's education and keeping our children safe with love and grace. I highly recommend this school to everyone.

i think that this school is awesome. the way that it teaches me is so awesome. i love the teacher's. some of them are really mean but still, teacher's are supposed to be mean.
