Martin B. Tetzlaff Middle School

Oh my, where to begin? Well if u hate drama and cyberbullyinh, don't go here! Tuis is far by the worst school for it. I have been cyberbullied here numerous times and picked on. Dnt go here it's ghetto

Every school is different and as a parent of a child with disabilities spending a second year at Tetzlaff, I have seen very little improvement or cooperation assisting my child in advancing or overcomming the difficulties that face all students. Trying to learn complex concepts in an ever changing world while allowing children to excell. Children without disabilities seem to do fine but a school is only as good as it's slowest learners. When a school is incapable, unwilling or has difficulity getting teachers to modify teaching methods for the slow learners THEY FAIL! I am a parent who understands the 504/IEP system that exsists to assist learning and what is the best for my child just like any parent. Slow learners need to receive a fair chance for a future just like normal children. Say what you like but the truth is in the schools test scores which have fallen.

The parent who stated that the principal of Tetzlaff was not involved-must have an ax to grind. I've always found the entire adminstrative team at this school to be welcoming, caring and concerned. Obviously, this parent did not get her/his way on an issue. Children and parents are treated with respect and dignity.Students are encouraged to reach for the stars!

Well, I honestly think that its all not true about our pricipal not being involved at all. She is constantly there and is always concerned with her students! There is only ONE prinicipal and so many students she tries her best and you can notice her effort! Yet, many students love the school and their friends. Making friends at Tetzlaff is so easy. When I started there I knew NO ONE, but everyone was so kind and cool and I made friends fast. This school has some of the best electives and the band is OHHEMMGEE! AMAZING is an insult to them!! They work so hard to sound PAST AWWSOME!! YAY MR. MITTS!!! I love it and proud to say I attend Tetzlaff. I would recommend it to anyone I know

I really like this school because of all the awesome teachers, the cool electives, and all my friends that I made which is weird for me since I hardly have any friends. There's an anime club for anime lovers at lunch in Mr. Okumura's art class. I think our band is the best!

Tetzlaff is a great school. I attended Tetzlaff and now teach at Tetzlaff. The curriculum is challenging and many teachers spend extra time in their classrooms during lunch and after school providing extra help to students that need it. All schools have areas that could use some improvement and the teachers at Tetzlaff continue to work hard to help all students achieve excellence. I, personally, have had students that have kept in touch with me while attending NYU, Berkley, UCLA, USC Law School and West Point. Each of those students credit the excellent preparation that the teachers at Tetzlaff gave them for their continued success in high school, college, and beyond. With continued changes taking place in the upcoming school year, parents should feel confident in their student's education and preperation for future success at Tetzlaff Middle School.

tetzlaff is an 'okay' school. it is acedemically sufficient, and the teachers are alright. however, the teachers just skim through the students work and dont really care about it, unless the students ask for the teacher to show them what they need to work on. also, some of the teacher's grading system is confusing. you turn something in, you just get a confusing number, and you dont even know why you got it. this is all bearable, but the worst is that the student's spirit goes is very weak. students do not show much apprieciation to school.

This school has given me my ground of my studying skills. By far, this was the best school I've gone too. Tetzlaff has given me a very good education. The school made me study even harder than before.
