Los Cerros Middle School

Los Cerros is a fantastic school. The teachers are great, motivated and actively involved with our child. The curriculum has been structured so the subjects presented engage and challenge the students.

This is not the school for your kids! The education is challenging, but only because most of the teachers don't teach it! The strong points of this school are the few teachers like Mr. Atwater, who is said to be retiring. The majority of the teachers are full of themselves and do not listen to the students opinions. If you are considering transferring your child here, dont!

I found the classes to be pretty easy, the teachers range from good to very, very bad. Over all not that bad (unless of course you get all very bad teachers).

This school offered the absolute worse educatonal experience to my children. The teachers were highly unmotivated. The principal was found to be not very warm or welcoming. As a matter of fact, she was quite unapproachable. Students were not taught how to behave properly at school activities such as concerts and assemblies. There seemed to be a free-for-all during these events. Above all, study skills were not taught. There was a great lack of preparation for high school. I know I am not alone in my view. This school really needs to be monitored!

In the past few years, things have improved greatly. I had two children go through three years each when there was a different principal. The current principal Ms. Ward, made positive changes and has been responsive whenever I had a concern regarding my current middle-schooler. Also, the school counselor, Ms. Schubb has been quite helpful and available. They still overload the children with homework on some nights and WEEKENDS. It is not a consistent amount and that should be addressed. One of the best teachers all three of my children had is Ms. Munck, for chorus and English. Several teachers who should not have been teaching are no longer there. There remain some good to very good ones and some who just assign and don't teach or even look at/correct work the child stayed up late to finish.

This school is terriblel. The teachers are horrible and there is no control at all over the students.
