    "We've had a major issue with one teacher in particular who was treating my daughter as if she was unintelligent. She accused my daughter over and over of lying, when there was proof otherwise. She refused to acknowledge that my daughter's feelings were valid and made it all about her and began drama by stating how it's terrible that my daughter would say that she felt belittled and that it was rude and hurtful. The principal got called into the matter and spoke with the teacher about her remarks, her attitude and about being respectful to the students. We have also had an issue with a girl slandering my daughter. She claimed my daughter threatened her during class (on a day my daughter was absent). It was taken to the Asst. Principal and I was called. The principal's office did not believe the allegations, considering the proof was not present and the claim was that it happened during a time my daughter had been absent with illness. Academics - supposedly not more than 1-2 hours a night of homework. Our experience is that it's more often 3-4 hours a night, and usually coming from the troubled teacher's class. My daughter's grades are better here, but still suffering."

    "This school is truly amazing! I came to this beautiful academy in the 6th and sadly had to leave in the 8th. Those 3 years were the best I had ever experianced. I met tons of friends here and the teachers here are awesome! I love Mesa Verde, the parents, staff, teachers, and students. I greatly recommend this school to any other students or parents in the Poway Unified School District or any where else in San Diego County because, it is worth the drive. Have a thought about joining this school, because this school is wonderful. I cried when I left, 8 years ago."

    "This school is amazing! I came to Mesa Verde in 7th grade and I loved the experience. I met many good friends here and I had great teachers. I'm currently in 8th grade at this school, and I'm still liking the school. I certainly recommend it to any other students/parents who are thinking about joining this school, because this school is wonderful."

    "My child attended Mesa Verde for 8th grade only. We moved to this area from another state. My child's experience was less than satisfactory on many levels. The primary issue was that he had been in an accelerated/gifted class since he had been in the first grade at his old school. Mesa Verde had no room, and it seemed little desire, to place him into the equivalent program in CA (called GATE). He was bored in his classes (except math) and never really clicked with any of the other kids. Mesa Verde did offer a geometry class that allowed him to continue his math (he had algebra in the 7th grade). I thought the material was well presented and the teacher appropriately pushed the students. As a final parting shot, at the 8th grade graduation when students with high GPAs were recognized, my child was not recognized even though he easily made the GPA cutoff (he had nearly straight A's at both his old school and Mesa Verde). I'm sure Mesa Verde is a great school for lots of kids, but they didn't seem very motivated to make it a good experience for transfer students. He's much happier in high school now, and very happy that Mesa Verde is behind him."

    "A great middle school. I attended Mesa Verde for grades 6-8, when the new campus was first opened. I am surprised to see that most of the original founding staff is still there, several of them even in the same classrooms. I was lucky enough to have awesome teachers, but I know that some of my friends did have complaints about their teachers. I feel that it was an academically challenging setting since I was in GATE all 3 years. The only thing that I feel is a minor downfall was the lack of extracurricular activities. I know that there are more current offerings, but Mesa Verde was lacking some when I was there. Great school, great staff, and the test scores prove it!"
