"The classrooms are severely overcrowded, buildings are old, budget is being managed poorly, they throw AT LEAST one fundraiser per WEEK at us, test scores are low, materials are low and poor, quality of education is poor, rules enforced poorly- people dressing sleazily and bullying, students are under-engaged, fights outbreak often, excessive 'filler' homework, lack of disciplinary system, second rate math and science, old books, special education program is poor, english learners program is poor, disgusting walls and hallways, 20 year-old lockers which only half of work. Overall this school is despicable compared to the other nearby schools and pathetic in almost all aspects. I have dreaded coming to this school for the past 3 years, and can tell you from personal experience, that, this school is most definitely the WORST school in the Orange County area."

"The 6th grade AAA/Gate program is extremely homework intensive. I was warned by every parent that it would be a ridiculous amount of homework...nothing prepared me for the reality. My child hates school for the first time in his life. I'm hoping seventh grade is more reasonable."

"Quality of academics is extremely high. they offer a wide variety of advanced classes, including AAA or gate classes. Their new program this year is AVID for college bound students is a progressive step toward helping those student organize their notebooks and maintaining their high grades. This program allow students to tour colleges and involves tutoring from outside professionals. The class also have their own tutorials where the student teach other student who to solve common academic problems, such as writing a better essay. The program will follow them in to at least two local high schools. The math at this middle school is way above the local private school offerings. This improves the students chance for success in high school math courses. My son's social studies teacher is the best he has had. My son used to hate social studies, but this teacher has such a passion for the subject."
