A couple teachers honestly need improvement and i'm so glad I don't go here anymore. Mrs wakeman is…read morean english teacher and honestly i'm surprised there isn't a staff member who checks her class environment daily. This teacher has a bad temper over the littlest things like accidentally talking over her she'll yell or embarrass you infront of the class. One time I was late by 5 MINUTES and the door was locked so of course I knocked. When i knocked she looked over and ignored me and i continued to knock and that's when she told me I can wait because she's teaching. After that she closed the door in my face and honestly i should've reported her right there because it was completely unnecessary, she could've simply let me in and go on teaching. So after I waited for her to open the door again she comes out and asks why Im late and I tell her that I left my house late and she told me to be on time next time. I can tell a lot of kids in her class don't respect her because of how she treats them, including myself. She gets so butthurt when the whole class doesn't kiss her feet and say goodmorning back to her. I mean it's 8:30AM and you expect us to be kind when you have your days where you're not kind to us? Also making us write 5 sentences every morning like hello i'm barely adjusting lol. If staff or herself is seeing this, please improve because honestly yelling at students or giving them an attitude is NOT gonna make them respect you. I continued to show I disliked her such as giving an attitude and ignoring her at times. Lastly, Mrs wakeman constantly goes off topic which ruins my learning, talking about how successful her children are, how they are in college and how well they are doing in school. She constantly even talks about herself and her own issues like we don't got issues ourselves that are worse than yours. Constantly complaining about how she needs her coffee and how she wishes it was the weekend. Girl please. Other than that, I would say I got the work done and had a 100% this semester in the class.

Her education I give 5 stars. My two sons, however, chose to take the regular classes and therefore hung out with a lower realm of people. Their teachers were little more than glorified babysitters, and not even good at that, as the boys frequently missed class without my receiving any kind of notification. Although just as academically promising as their sister, given their less challenging environment and easy acess to drugs both on campus and off, both of my sons became drug-addicted loafers during their tenure at Perris High, earning the school a 1 in my book.

Dorothy McElhinney Middle School offers a strong educational environment overall, and our…read moreexperience has been mostly positive. The campus is clean, organized, and feels safe, and many of the teachers are truly dedicated to supporting students. My child has had some great classroom experiences and has grown academically thanks to several caring, engaged educators. However, not all interactions have been consistent. While most teachers have been wonderful, there have been a couple who were less supportive or less communicative, which created some challenges. It didn't define the entire experience, but it's worth noting since it affected our child's year at times. Communication from administration is generally clear and responsive, and the school offers a solid range of electives and extracurriculars. The culture is positive, and students seem encouraged to push themselves and get involved.

The Principal, VP and staff are available and willing to help with any concerns. Students get individual attention and lots of resources both at school and online. This school has a more "hands-on" type learning style compared to public school. Plus, there are so much more opportunities for extracurricular activities such as clubs, sports and field trips. The school really works hard to accommodate parents' schedules. Probably the thing I love most about Bear Springs is student behavior. There is zero-tolerance for bullying and bad behavior. The Principal and VP are very helpful in dealing with any situations. I have noticed that the student atmosphere at Bear Springs is much more accepting and supportive than I've seen at other schools. And the most important part ... my kids love it! They get up happy each morning, ready to go to school.
