Another thing is another one or my friends found a rotten strawberry in their food so when I got home and told my mom so when she called the principal the principal said that there was no rotten food and that it was all healthy then proceeded to say "now I'm going to eat the yogurt because it's actually good" and then hung up then the teachers some of them wore the worst and others were gods mercy reincarnated mine all sucked (except Mrs Sanchez and Mrs Sanders love em). It honestly sucked so much I saw I kid slap someone and nothing happened kids were constantly disputing class and there was nothing fun or Interesting for the kids when I was in 6th grade we had a attendance challenge vs the whole school out class won our original prize was to watch the highschools play basketball in their next game NEWS FLASH THEY LIED AND THEIR EXCUSE WAS TRANSPORTATION WOULDN'T GIVE THEM A BUS so instead we got a obstacle course which was supposed to be just for us. . .

Security is good. They are on the ball. I think they could use more security for the behaviors they have to manage. Teachers are great. They do the best with what they have.

I hope the program takes these concerns seriously and works to create a more inclusive, compassionate, and supportive environment for all children and families.

These past 2 years for her (4th-6th) after she came back to orange was absolutely terrible, I felt sick to my stomach when I heard all the complaints and all the things going against her. Not a single adult handled the situations with kids laughing at the clothes on her body, the way she looks and her weight. Truly breaks my heart on how awful the counselor and principal never helped her.

A lot of students acted like they could get away with anything, even being able to do so, while my friends and I would get in trouble for the smallest things. Many of the insecurities I struggle with started there. Some teachers would call students out publicly over minor issues, which only made things worse and made me more insecure about my issues. One of my classmates even broke my glasses, and when my mom and I spoke to the vice principal about it, it felt like she didn't care and even found the situation amusing. Thankfully, I had a few good friends who helped me get through the school year. There were constant fights in and outside the school, which made me afraid to report how I was being treated. Some students would hold their phones over restroom stalls to take pictures of other students and show them to their friends. I was one of the students targeted. Since then, that experience has continued to affect me, and every time I saw those students, they wanted to start problems or fight me. My time at this school had made a serious impact on my mental health for almost over a year. I took antidepressants, and at one point I attempted to take my own life. I understand that middle school can be difficult, but no student deserves to be treated this way. What makes it even more upsetting is that many students have shared similar experiences over the years, yet it seems like little was done to address them. (I also want to mention that this review is based on my experiences from 2021-2023. The school may have changed since then, and I hope it has improved for current students. However, I still felt it was important to speak out about the issues I personally experienced during my time there.)

I was a former student at this middle school (2016 to 2018), and looking back, I feel compelled to…read moreshare my experience, as it had a profound impact on my life. During my time here, I had high hopes of making friends, unfortunately that wasn't as planned. I remember coming into the school, hoping to make friends right off the bat, but it didn't quite turn out that way. I was surrounded by classmates who frequently displayed disruptive conduct, and I experienced peer pressure to imitate their antics in an effort to fit in, which just made me feel more out of place. I am a full Hispanic girl who, surprisingly, never learned to speak Spanish throughout my life.I also favored indoor activities to outdoor ones, which made me paler-skinned than some of my peers at the time. My appearance and lack of proficiency in the Spanish language became a target for ridicule. I was called names like "White" or told that I couldn't be Mexican because I couldn't speak Spanish. One particularly distressing incident stands out in my memory. I was assaulted by another student and had to be taken to the principal's office. Instead of finding support, my mom and I were met with hostility from the principal, who engaged in a confrontation with my mom. This ultimately led to my mom filing a police report, which, unfortunately, only made my situation worse. I became a target for more ridicule and even received threats at one point. The trauma from those years has stayed with me, but with time, I have grown older and more mature. I'm now attending a four-year university alongside my older sister, with the support of my dog and wonderful roommates who all love me just the way I am. It feels like the right time to share my experience with others, as a way of letting go of the past. Despite the challenges, there were a few bright spots during my time at the school. I cherish the very few individuals who saw the good in me and accepted me for who I am. Additionally, there was one special teacher who played a significant role in my life. not only my teacher but also became one of my best friends, providing the support I needed to make it through those difficult years. To that teacher, the one who picked me for student of the month, the one who let me (along with other students) sit in your classroom during lunch, you know who you are, if you are reading this, I am forever grateful for your kindness and friendship during my time in that hell hole.
