    Performing Arts Center review. I recently attended a student…read moreperformance at their Performing Arts Center. When viewing the campus map online it appeared much larger and much more confusing than it actually was. The PA Center was immediately to my left as I pulled onto campus, very easy to find and parking was extremely close too! I also viewed the theater seating chart online to pick my seat. I really loved that it showed me which seats would have a blocked view, encouraging me to pick another one. The theater seemed much larger online than it actually was. So when I chose a front row seat, I had no idea I would be "kick up my feet onto the stage" close. It was still a great seat and I could see the entire performance. The acoustics were good as was the lighting. They could definitely use another bathroom, one is not enough!

    They have a bully culture that goes unchecked by staff. If you have an issue the principles shrug…read moretheir shoulders and say there's nothing they can do. Even when you request a meeting with the other party's parents and the school, the school declines and allows the behavior. Not a very welcoming learning environment. If other students call your child a racial slur nothing is done. This is ONE OF the earliest environments these children should learn what is socially, ethically, and morally acceptable because obviously they are not learning this at home. To not hold children accountable for their actions is enabling them to continue the deplorable behavior. In addition the school is saying they agree and encourage the behavior by doing nothing to punish or prevent this behavior.

    I really like this school. My daughter seems to be getting a great education and there hasn't been…read moremuch, if any, negative feedback from her. She is a sharer, so I would have heard. The teachers are well trained and know how to prepare the kids for the coming difficulties of h.s. The teachers are quick to let parents know when extra effort is needed. Students seem mostly focused and there to learn. (mostly ;)

    First I would like to point out my positive experience with Mesa Verde Middle School. The teachers…read more(for the most part) are nice and understanding, especially Mr. Lester and Mrs. Doty. Take one star each as a symbol of your awesomeness. The school's grading policy is fair for the most part, as well, and Mr. Newmark is an awesome Assistant Principal. However, this school has MANY, MANY problems, and if these don't get fixed, I'm docking my review down to one star (zero if I could). For one, the school is poorly maintained with gum everywhere, corroding metal, broken faucets, and literal safety hazards in the locker room. Park Village Elementary, despite being one year older than Mesa Verde, is in significantly better condition than Mesa Verde is. And bullies and harassers are rarely held accountable to the "zero tolerance policy" the school claims it has. And there's their new awful electronics policy. Their policy makes sense in classrooms; students shouldn't be using their phones during class time. But this rule wasn't changed from previous years, so the "difference" people are seeing is only from increased enforcement of the rule. However, the part that is new this year and absolutely absurd is the TOTAL BAN on all "unauthorized electronic devices" during lunch, passing periods, and even before and after school (this isn't really enforceable, though). No phones, smartwatches, personal laptops, the school even gave a hard time about headphones! And their headphones policy is just as extreme, and the school board and many of their employed staff use the new policy to torment and stress students because "20 minutes to watch YouTube or contacting your parents because you had a hard day is harmful", while not addressing the real culprits who sneak their phones behind their back to do fishy stuff, and even though the staff already neglects us. Other schools have rules specifically about smartphones that are less extreme than MVMS's, and even those I think are a bit extreme. Even if they're not going to fix the many other problems at the school, at least don't take away helpful stuff from students as insult to injury. So there needs to be some serious change to this school, otherwise it will inevitably fail. Students don't deserve to be treated this way, and if the school wants students to succeed (which they express LITERALLY EVERYWHERE), give them some freedom and some guidance, enforce necessary rules and get rid of unnecessary ones, and don't order us around like farm animals. At the end of last year, I would have given this school 3 stars or more, so the school board should retrace their steps and see where they messed up this year. Sincerely, A now 9th grader who has received a SOAR Award

    What an amazing school! We were enrolled at Cathedral Catholic and were not pleased with a…read moremultitude of things, so we searched for a new school. Del Norte is a beautiful and academically sound high school. The leadership over this school is second to none and the teachers truly care. I'm grateful for the opportunity of my child attending this school as I truly think they work to prepare her for college. Don't get me wrong, this school isn't a cake walk, but it's apparent she will be well equipped to attend college when she walks out the doors her Senior Year. Not only is the academic program better than a private school from what we experienced, the sports program is amazing. Some strong athletes come out of this school. Great facilities, coaches and supervision over the sports program has been a wonderful experience! Love that they invest in their academic and sports programs alike! My kid has never looked back once coming to this school and absolutely thrives. Nice work and thank you. to the school administration, faculty and staff!

Common to new schools there are "growing pains" of sorts to work out. At this point, DNHS is 4 years old. So far, the administrators, student body, faculty and parents have stepped up to make this a more than "good school". If MC is better, why are so many kids from its vicinity coming to this school? Some kids coming from RB high neighborhood or even WestView and Poway high neighborhoods make the commute here. Go ahead and ask those guys "why not their area high schools?" Or do you even have to try? Seems obvious... Clearly THEY think Del Norte IS the better school.

    Diegueno Country School is the best school in the world. We moved from San Francisco to Southern CA…read morewhen my daughter was entering third grade. She was very behind the other students at Diegueno, but the teachers were so patient with her, and even met with her before school each week to help her get caught up. When my daughter graduated from Diegueno she told me "Mom when I first went to Diegueno, I was the dumbest kid in the class, but now I am one of the smartest ones!" I am not saying that either of those statements that she made are necessarily true, but the amazing teachers at Diegueno helped my daughter, improve and grow, and now her confidence in her abilities are through the roof. She has since moved on to high school, but one thing that is interesting is that the kids from her current school who went to Diegueno for elementary school, are excelling at math and public speaking in particular. My daughter even won the award for being the best at Algebra at her new school, because Diegueno prepared her so well, and instilled a natural curiosity and love of learning in her. You will not find a better school than Diegueno Country School.

They all want to talk to me. They all want to tell me happenings of the day. Dcs is location reminds me of a treehouse and you will have to be okay with the classrooms being a bit smaller than other schools. But they make it work somehow. My kids are happy. I have seen academic leaps and bounds. I used to make sure the kids had two tutors. I have now stopped the tutoring and put my child's education into the care of the teachers. The kids are much more willing to try hard to finish homework without too much prying from me. Whatever system they have. It works. And it is working wonders. When you take a tour take a peek at what the kids are working on and you will have an idea of the academic excellence they strive for. Just book a tour.
