"Altimira, like the other public schools in Sonoma, reflects the reality of a mostly non-English speaking population usurping our schools. The vast majority of kids in this school are the children of illegal immigrants. They have huge socio-economic obstacles to contend with, and significant language and cultural barriers. The families who are American by citizenship and culture, are forced to use private or religious schools as alternatives, if they want to obtain quality education for their children. That is the reality of what has occurred in our town. It is very disturbing."

"The school lacks any parent participation, which is crucial in any school, especially middle school."

"This school has consistently gone through many changes. It is hard to keep up. Counselors are not there for the kids, but for the school district. my way or the highway attitude. Teachers at this school have been here too long and need new teachers. the emphasis is to teach responsibility so watch out if you have a slow learner their grades may suffer for it."
