Ustach Middle School has staff members who CARE! Being able to interact with them, you can tell how…read moremuch they want their students to succeed. They provide before and after school clubs, rewards for positive behavior with the PBIS Store, school fesitivals and many more ways for students/families to connect! Not every school is perfect but this school tries to make an impact on students and families. The culture at this school is improving every year and they are making a positive impact thanks to the hard work of staff and students.

Office staff not helpful. Joanne Valencia - is the first contact in the office. My son forgot his…read morejacket, first rainy day. He asked me to bring it to the office, but he doesn't have his phone so no way I could get ahold of him. I come in and she tells me to just put it on the table with his name. The sign above the table says 'staff is not responsible for the items- and they will not call the student to let them know it's there.' I ask her to call for him because he doesn't know I brought it- she tells me he won't hear it because he's in the cafeteria, but calls anyways. Another mom comes in with a laptop- she just tells her a name and asks to make sure she gets it. Joanne calls out for this student and immediately the student comes for the laptop. (Didn't tell the mom to place it on the table with a sticky note like she told me). I didn't leave because I wanted to make sure my son got his jacket. I waited 30 minutes. Finally she called a second time and he came up immediately to get it. Had I not sat and waited I don't believe she would have helped at all. He had to be at recess for a full 30 minutes without a jacket. - and as a mom I could never do that to another kid. I find her extremely rude and unhelpful and not a good fit for the very first person point of contact in the office at the school. Had I come in for a doc appt or something they would have had him come to the office immediately. I know there are systems in place to get ahold of the kids and she just chose not to help and wasted 30+ minutes of my day.

Okay first of all, this school calls home for the dumbest things. I am sick and tired of my child…read moregetting in trouble for the most STUPIDEST things ever. Second of all, the PE teacher, Ms. Kanaly or whatever her name is I do not care at all. Do I have a fat bone to pick with her. She recently called home to get my child in trouble saying that he was not dressed out for PE. When in reality, his butt crack was just showing slightly. And he is pretty chunky but that shouldn't be a reason to call home. Yesterday, they called AGAIN. This reason was because my child finished state testing early. Can you believe they got him in trouble because he finished early. My daughter works as a substitute paraprofessional, she came home to me after working at the school for the first time telling me how the school gets kids in trouble for silly reasons. If they keep calling home, I will call MCS and put a huge complaint. I am sick and tired of my kid getting in trouble there. Also, the so called PE teacher has parents phone numbers on hand to call whenever she wants because she thinks she has the upper hand. DO NOT and I can not stress this enough DO NOT tell me to deal with my child with his behind. If I hear that again, coming from a school staff employee I will not hesitate to call the superintendent.

This school is now located in Modesto. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. There is a new principal at…read morevanguard and she unfairly targets children and lies to parents. If you try to advocate for your children be prepared for unfair bullying. This woman is on a power trip and wants you to kiss her ring. After meeting with the director of the Central Valley I walked away feeling great only to be knocked back down later that evening. Trust me, record ALL of your dealings with the principal because she will deny saying things and twist words. Be prepared to pay for therapy for all the mental anguish this woman will cause your children. With children dealing with an all time high of emotional issues this woman should surely consider a different career path. Hoping my review saves some parents heartache later.

PARENTS PLEASE READ THE FULL THING I PROMISE IT'S WORTH IT. I was a student at the shared campus of…read moreUCS and Vanguard for about 6 years and let me tell you right now you should NEVER send your kids here. This school, Vanguard, gave me more trauma then therapy can heal. I am writing this because of my experiences here during my 7th grade year. Eva Forest, Xavier Melendez, Carter something, and Melissa Welsch gave me an awful experience and I had to move schools. At first everything was fine, it was just me Eva, and Xavier. Xavier and I started "middle school dating" and it was going pretty good until the summer of 2023 when Eva had told me he never liked me in the first place and was too much of a coward to dump me. Keep in mind we're basically the weird kids in this school (name given by the other rude students at Vanguard) and it wasn't common for us to date, but when we did we were very into it. So when I found out he never liked me, the start of 7th grade I broke up with him. On discord, (where most of this happened) we got into a fight and he literally confessed he never liked me. I added him, our new friend Carter, Eva, and my older ADULT sister to the conversation because I felt like she matched our energy and would basically protect me from his bullying. Which she did a perfect job at might I add. I screenshotted every single time he berated me and put it on a group chat with my mother, and my sister. When I met Melissa she was very kind and quickly became my second best friend (First bff was Eva) so I added her to the discord group chat of the friend group. EVENTUALLY she started dating my ex, Xavier, red flag number one, and would hardly stand up for me in the group chat or anytime else when he would try and berate me. I was sick of it. One day I mistakenly wrote a letter saying I like Carter and not to show it to anyone, he showed it to XAVIER and Xavier showed it to Melissa. I knew something was off when I came into school the next morning and found Melissa crying, I ran up to her and asked what's wrong and she literally would not talk to me. At all. So I was very confused until Carter said "I showed Xavier for advice since he's dated you and I guess he showed Melissa" What I wrote was very simple but yet I could see how it could hurt someone. I wrote "the other friends mean nothing to me without you." Because there were times when I wanted to leave the friend group because of how they treated me and he talked me out of it. (I forgot to mention that Eva got GROUNDED for a LONG while and moved schools for some reason. I also forgot that they had 'kicked me out of the friend group' MULTIPLE TIMES, which is important later on) I did end up convincing Melissa it meant nothing and we made up like nothing happened. FLASH FORWARD to October, I was getting ready to have my birthday party at a roller rink because I had recently taken up liking it. So I invited all of my friends of course and they all agreed to come, the Tuesday before the party I was told by one of my friends who was also in the group, Gianna (she didn't have a phone or anything but she is a real sweetheart and I miss her more than anything) she came up to me and told me "The others are planning to kick you out of the friend group on your birthday party." And I freaked OUT. I had ENOUGH. I cursed them all out flipped them the bird and called my mother who was WELL aware of what was going on. I went home early and took three and a half weeks off school. During those three weeks Eva got her phone back and texted me on TikTok saying Melissa called her SOBBING because she said to me her grandfather had passed away and I said "At least I have a grandpa" WHICH NEVER HAPPENED AND IS NOW A RUNNING JOKE IN MY HOUSE. So I obviously denied it and ended up blocking her too. Also during those three weeks my mother texted the parents of all of those kids and explained what was going on and how I was in and out of the hospital for wanting to kill myself because I thought I was the problem. Now Carter's mom is an actual sweetheart and I love her so so so so so so so much. She GROUNDED Carter and made him write me a letter explaining how sorry he was and he was caught up in the drama and didn't know what side to pick. Carter used to be a really sweet kid before EVERYTHING that went down. I never went back there and went to Norman Glick Middle School and it is so much better. Plus the food isn't moldy and there aren't literal rats. So moral of the story is, don't send your kid to this school unless you're prepared for them to be in the hospital and pay for therapy because I'm still not over it. We went to the principal about it when it started because they said they have a no bullying policy, but when we talked about it with the principal and literally showed the screenshots of practical cyber bullying, they SHRUGGED THEIR SHOULDERS.
