Alfred S. Madrid Middle School

I went to school from 2000-2002 I am lookign for the year book if anybody has it or know how I can get it please e-mail me. Am looking for a childhood friend her name is blanca but I can't remember her last name. She is white, chubby, and has frekels if any body can help me with her full name that will be help full.

I am a student in my last year at Madrid, so maybe I'm a little biased, but personally, I love Madrid. This school has a really bad reputation, though for what I'm not sure. There will be bad kids, teachers, and situations wherever you go. It's what you make of it that matters. During my years at Madrid, I have gotten involved in as many programs as I could, and I have made sure not to get involved with the wrong groups or kids. As a result, I have made wonderful friends, have had amazing teachers who really care about me and my success, have had fantastic experiences, and will take away many great memories from Madrid. Hopefully this school will lose it's bad reputation really soon, and be seen for what it really is: a great school.

i believe that this school should have gotten better computers when it was built and kept changing but either way its a good school!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quality of academic progress: Extremely Low expectations from students. The 8th grade promotion requirement is a D+ average. Surprisingly, 1/3 of the class didn't achieve 1.5 GPA. As a matter of fact, selective straight F students of severe behavioral problems were also invited to participate in the ceremony in a cheering crowd with flowers and balloons. Availability of music, art, sport... Teachers have to fight for it. They went all the way to the superintendent since the principal rejected the after school sports program; consistently not supporting it. Level of parents and administrators involvement: minimal Sadly enough, the administrators are still very proud of the students' achievement and progress.

I worked under a dedicated and hard working bunch of teachers and I learned a great deal from these professionals. From my stand point, as a student myself (not an alumni of Madrid), as an observer and as a learner, teachers there have always pushed students. They have always discussed their students' high potential if they applied themselves, but at the same time many teachers wished parents were actually involved in their child's education. There is a lack of leadership at the school and it impacts the overall safety and discipline required to keep students focused and on track.

The school is run by two incompentent and unprofessional people for years. The kids are suffering; the teachers are suffering. Please get rid of the bad administrators to save the school.

I can tell you from personal experience. Teachers are not supported or backup by the administrators. More parents should voice out their concerns about things that happened in this school. Simply because students deserve to receive proper education and guidance. Unfortunately, many parents in this school are new immigrants and they rarely speak English.
