Robert O. Townsend Junior High School

Great teachers, administration and office staff, very mean and demeaning. You are almost scare to ask for anything because they seem to be in a bad mood all the time and they will not do anything for you. Everytime I go in there, I see them yelling at kids that have entered the office, they don't have a nice way of talking to people; it seems like they hate their job.

Townsend is a great school, but the only problem is the administration. They are unhelpful and they always look at you in a demeaning way. They also act like you're always guilty of something. However, the teachers are very helpful and Gradealert is an awesome way for me to look at my grades and see if i need inprovement or not

I love this school. They have helped my son in math. Tutorials have been great with allowing him to re-take tests. I thought Jr. High was scary but it doesn't seem that bad.

I was completely apprehensive about my daughter attending Townsend due to previous issues they had with students. I was determined that she was going to go to Canyon Hills. However, everything that took place up to her starting her 7th grade year, made the decision much easier. Thank you Jesus with every door that opened! The separate Orientations they had for parents and then students was remarkable. Canyon Hills was utter chaos with leadership students speaking to the parents with their 'Like, and this is like...' personalities. The extra activities that Townsend has are a HUGE plus, something Canyon Hills lacks. My daughter is now a 3.8 GPA, involved with the Christian Club and Art Club. She has accomplished far more than I could've ever given this school credit for. The teachers are great! This school has taken a huge turn-around since students I knew attended a few yrs. before

I think this school is fun! Even though the principal isn't very friendly, the teachers are very much into their students' achievement. This year Townsend has expanded their extra-curricular activities such as intramural sports and many different clubs. I am part of the band, and it is awesome! Ms. Robb and Mr. Rutt are doing a wonderful job running this amazing program.

Townsend Junior High has the best teachers I have ever had. People like Mr. Callaci, Mr. Demartino, and Mrs. Faucher are wonderful teachers. The only downside of this school are the underacheiving kids that do nothing but ruin others.

My son was not getting respect or even learing anything from Canyon Hills. Townsend is now his new school and him and I love it.

Townsend Jr. High is the best. i went there for 7th grade as my first public school after attending private school all my life and it was the easiest transition. I am now an sophmore in High School and miss my 7th grade days and how good they were! if there is any school for a student to go to it would be this. The staff is so nice and the teachers are amazing. They would help you through any troubles and just seemed to love thier jobs. Mr. Bates is the best math teacher ever. I always struggled with math but i alway understood his teaching. Over all the school is awsome! Go2Townson!

I am a student that is attending townsend this year and I am not satisfied with the rules or the staff at this school. i believe some of the teachers, like Mr.Kunishima or MrsThompson are wondersful but a lot of the teachers are very unorganized and do not teach some of the proper standards that 7th and 8th grade students need. There are also many fights at this school which is an unsafe environment
