Mark Twain Middle School

Outstanding leadership by Principal Rex Patton is making Mark Twain a competitive West Side Middle School. Still too much drama from those who prefer adult interests before kids first.

i wanna go to this school but i think it's too late to sign up for getting bused there.

Excellent that is all one has to say about this school. Small school with great atmosphere for learning. Who ever thinks he has to send there kids to overcrowded schools for the necessary fluff, rather than education keep doing so. The better for us the parents that like to have a great school in the neighborhood without the fluff.

What a wonderful little school lost in the LAUSD web! This is a hidden gem! The teachers are caring and very accessible, the staff is very knowledgeable and helpfull. The new academic program for this school year promises a great success. The students are friendly & helpful with each others. I am a very satisfied MT parent. My kids are safe and are learning and are happy, what more can a parent ask for?

What an amazing year my child has had at Mark Twain! Those in the community that are sending their kids across town to the over populated "popular" schools have no clue what their missing. Our small "community" school is awesome!!! Thanks to all the teachers and staff at MT!!!!

Mark Twain students are such wonderful young people. They are kind to one another and care about their community. They are excited about learning, hard working, creative, and so bright. They are our future leaders, and it is a joy to teach them and watch them learn and grow!

This is my tenth year teaching at Mark Twain M.S. and I have never been more proud. I am fortunate to have colleagues that truly dedicate themselves to their students. We have students who are being prepared to face the real world and being taught how to leave their mark. As I stand at my classroom door and watch the children walk by, I see aspiring teachers, lawyers, musicians, dancers, actors- an array of bright futures ahead. At a time when the faith in the public school system is at question, I must commend the commitment of the educators at Mark Twain. I feel honored to be part of this community.

A dedicated staff, beautiful campus and wonderfully diverse students who can dance, sing, play music, create beautiful art, run marathons and still have the energy to give it their all in class!
