Hyde middle school is a comforting school which I think is the best middle school. Don't judge the score judge the school they have great after class math olympiads


Posted August 22, 2012

Hyde Middle School is a great school, teachers are very supportive and dedicated. I would highly recommend it


Posted June 22, 2012

My eldest daughter attend Hyde this year for 7th grade. Hyde is the lowest test score middle school in CUSD. To be frank, I noticed one teacher is not quite smart based on my opinion. But overall this school does provide a warmth environment for my daughter. She got he opportunity to try out and join the advanced band. She tried girls soccer team even though didn't make it in the last trial period. She tried 5 sports in track and field and finally made the team in mile run(She was the slowest at the beginning.). In the final she made it to the second at Hyde. So she got a more balanced life at Hyde than at Lawson. She gained confidence in the track and field and other things she tried. I think that's more important than only academic. At Lawson she didn't have extra energy since the heavy computer skill related projects consumed most of her time. What I can see is that Hyde allows my daughter to be balanced. I think the test score will improve since the elementary schools are improving.

Hyde Middle School is a great place to be in. The sports are big, and they have a lot of electives you can take.

I have a son that is attending hyde and i have to say its a great school! i have never seen any student 'smoking or participating in criminal activity'. That is just ridicules. I beleive many parents from other schools say these things to make themselves feel better about where their child is attending. Hyde is a fantastic very diverse school. My family is very pleased. Go lions!

My kids attend this school and I am not satasfied. The ELD program is superb since my daughter attended it for 1 year. But other things aren't that great. Students can easily get away with fellony and zero tolerance. I was picking up my daughter the other day and saw her classmate smoking(the smoker was in 6th grade) I was shocked on how Hyde accepts such bad behavior. I do not recommend this school to students who are not motivated to learn and are attracted to students who have bad behavior.

This is the best school ever! My children enjoy their time playing sports and interacting with the wonderful teachers. The students are kept in shape mentally and physically. The ELD program is outstanding. My kids awesome say Hyde rocks!!!

Two of my daughters attend Hyde. My impression is that the teachers are highly professional and give individual attention to each student. They attend the ELD program which is superb. I recommend Hyde to any parent/student that want to have a well-balance of achievements and positive school experience.

Hyde is going well for my 7th grader so far.I like the school environment because the kids and parents do not say negatives about other Cupertino Schools or degrade other students performances.The staff is very caring and offer the best to the students.The school also hosts all the ESL students from the other Cupertino Schools.Many students take the extra miles to finish the curriculum when the class was slow to accomodate other students needs.I have seen Hyde students doing great in several math contests and the miller parents and students(whose only past time seems to be spreading false gossips about Hyde ) say that the judges must have made a mistake.My student is doing great and so are her friends.

While this school used to be something quite nice that is no longer the case. The school is filled with kids that are happy to completely blow away their education for the life of a criminal. Despite the zero tolerence rules it seems to be quite easy to get away with a fellony. Last year many of the good teachers have left and have been replaced with temporary teachers that are replaced throught the year, causing a delay in education.The teachers are now on strike and they will not talk to the student about education any time but class time. The campus is quite dirty. The school revolves around sports. But it does have an excellent ELD program. But if you want your child to get a good education I would recomend to go to another school in the Cupertino district.

My child is a current 7th grader at hyde, and so far there have been no complaints! Hyde seems to care about thier students, and the new principal is great

I have been pleased with Hyde. I have a 6th grader there, and he seemed to love it. I Think that the new principal is great, and he makes sure that the students are on task.

My child will be starting there next year. The school seems to have a lot more trash than the nearby Miller Middle School. I would think this would be something easy to improve.

Hyde has mostly great and qualified teachers.The rest of the teachers can make the kid hate the subject. Also Hyde does not have a strict rule for good behavior i.e. kids would be able to say bad words and not get punished, kids would bully and no strong consequence for their act.

Posted April 1, 2005

Hyde is a great school if your child is a high acheiver. If your child needs ANY kind of help or assistance, Hyde is not real supportive. It seems that test scores dominate everything at this school. The school does not encourage individuality.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted March 14, 2005

There are plenty of sports offered throughout the year for both boys and girls. The academic program is good overall. Some teachers could easily be mistaken for teaching high school instead of middle school. The art program is very good. They also have some very good math teachers too.
