I probably enjoyed middle school cause of this school far more than during elementary. My favorite people in the early 2000s though was the librarian and an English teacher, Mrs. Ludes. The library was one of my favorite places to hang out. The teacher got hell from her students when she was the sweetest and smartest teacher I had met up to that point. She nurtured my love of literature. I wish other students had appreciated her.

If you are looking for a school that stimulates the kids to think, to be creative, to bond, to expand their minds, and to reach further than they thought possible.... this is a great school. Be forewarned ... as a parent , you have to participate !! Yes, you have to ask questions, of everyone involved. Yes that means the kids, the counselors, the staff, the teachers , the administrators ( oh no.. really?!?) But being an advocate for your kid , here or at any school is being a great parent . And Balboa has fabulous teachers . They took my shy, very bright , socially anxious kid and helped him realize that he was an honor roll student with talent, passion and the ability to succeed. Be a parent, and the teachers will teach . And your kid will thrive here!!

this is one of the worst schools that I have ever experienced. They are very racist and biased and…read morevery sexist. They have a very strict dress code that they claim they use because it distracts the teachers and students that's kind of disgusting if you ask me considering the fact that we are in middle school and that shouldn't even be an issue in the first place. Their board members will do anything to go out of their way to make your kid feel like shit. They make kids cry left and right and tell them that they love them, but do multiple things to take them down and make sure it's the worst middle school years for them. They'll take a situation that is really not big at all and escalated by 10 just by taking it up to the office, they get people in trouble for no reason and DEFINITELY have their favorites. They also DEFINITELY have their least favorites too. All the teachers are very rude, but not as rude as the people up in the office. They don't want you to promote. They don't want you to be successful. They want you to suffer and that's exactly what they do to everyone the teachers go around talking smack about other students which is very immature to me because isn't this a middle school where the kids are supposed to be talking about each other? Not the adults be talking about the kids. They also have a very "No smoke" policy but when it comes to their favorites, the policy doesn't apply to them. not to mention, the school is very nasty. The bathrooms always smell not even smell they reek the locker rooms are always disgusting and there's always trash all around the school. One of the biggest things that is bad about this school is the fact of how unsafe it is they make things online saying that this is the happiest school ever. This is hell there's fights like every week. They have to have officers there and it is not safe at all. Do not let your kid go to the school. If you are thinking about it, they will make it seem like it's all good that they'll call you every single time that your kid does something wrong but that's not true. They'll call you every single time. Your kid makes a mistake and also they try to make it seem like you're allowed to make mistakes but the second that you make one it's a big problem to them.

I graduated from VHS in 1991, my years spent at the school were merely about survival and getting…read morethrough the next 4 years . I think the biggest mistake educators make, is they think to much with their heads and forget to think with their hearts. For youth that are struggling to find their niche in life and find high school overwhelming and sometimes suffocating with its consistent need to find exactly where they fit in... I take the classic 80's movie that said it the best, "You see us as you want to see us--in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain...and an athlete... ...and a basket case... ...a princess......and a criminal." When educators can tap into the core of each child and see past a students insecurities then I think there might be success. In my 4 years I had a total of two teachers that that gave me any type of encouragement, the first in 10th grade English who though I begged her not to read my story out loud and did, she did not say who wrote it but the class enjoyed it and wanted to know who and she just smiled at me and my peers applauded me and the final one was my Senior year a few weeks before graduation, I had to make up an American History credit from 9th grade so I was in an Adult Ed class given on campus during school hours and I turned in a term paper regarding gangs and government and she read it and asked if I had been pursuing journalism because I had so much talent. For that youth those twenty some odd years ago it was the nicest compliment she'd ever received from a teacher. My suggestion for teachers , if you are burnt out and just passing time to get your pension, please think of the children who don't know their voices yet and need guidance not indifference. My 4 years were unremarkable and I hold fondly to my heart the two teachers that were able to see a glimmer of who I really wanted to be. So Thank you Mrs.McEwen & Mrs. Quinn, I'm forever grateful.
