—Submitted by a parent
WOW...what a great school! My neighbor tried to talk me out of it for another middle...probably because their kid went there yeas ago, which would make sense. New management and amazing offerings! They have 2 electives! The other schools don't have that. Regarding the older reviews....get over that! My children LOVE this school. Registration last week was a breeze and the office people were super nice. Made me feel very welcome. Our 6th grader went through a WEB orientation which bonded them with an 8th grade "older brother". He feels immediately connected to the school and much less nervous now. If my chid is happy, I'm happy!

I have had a few children go through Warm Springs over multiple years and have seen drastic changes since adminstration has changed. What an amazing school it has become! I once considered moving my child to another school...but now Warm Springs is my first school of choice. The new principal has done so many great things. Why would any family drive their child across town to another school when this great school is right here?
—Submitted by a parent
I must be honest and say that when my daughter made the transition from 5th to 6th, I was very nervous and seemed to run into problem after problem during the first month or two. Looking back, I most likely had unrealistic expectations and soon realized the problems were not being caused by school staff but by my child trying to adjust to the differences of middle school. Once adjusted her attitude changed which in turn brought her grades up and weve had no problems since.. I am positive that Warms Springs and its staff have the best of intentions while our kids are in they're hands. Keep up the great work!!

I couldn't be more happy with this school. The teachers and staff and wonderful and supportive. They offer great programs from Drama club, ASB, Avid and after school math tutoring. I moved here two years ago and never have seen such wonderful schools as in the Murrieta District.

My children have had a wonderful experience at Warm Springs. Teachers are great and Staff and counselors are caring. Great communication with all. I see some of the other posts aren't very positive and that hasn't been our experience at all.

Strict on some things and not on others. Some GREAT teachers, some not great. Some very nice staff, some not. Bullying seems to be a problem, no one seems to notice. Several kids I see with the sagging pants, bad attitudes, etc. Not impressed at all. My son is in 6th grade and this was like taking 2 steps backward from Buchanan Elementry. Definate power trip from campus supervisor/teacher. Seems like staff just tells you what you want to hear to make you go away. Not impressed with vice principal...no e-mail back from counslor. We are moving this summer back to a small town.....Not impressed AT ALL!

This school is doing sooo much better now that there's a new principal. (He used to be principal for a highschool so I think he knows what he's doing) Students are rewarded for there hard work throughout the week for special activities on fridays during lunch and don't forget the pick up stix served every Wednesday. There are some very good teachers and others, not so well. Some staff members are, might I say are rude; but most of them are very understanding and nice. There is also a police officer always roaming around the school. Drugs, however is a problem with some students, but they are surely caught and suspended, expelled, sent to Juvy etc. My daughter goes there and got from a C to an A in math and also got an A on her language arts mid-term.
—Submitted by a parent
Although there are some amazing teachers in this school. It;s staff members are rude,and on serious power trips. Particularly the campus supervisor whom when calling parents appears to enjoy intimidation tactics and insulting remarks, she clearly has no skills in diplomacy and shouldn't be allowed to be in contact with the public

Not sure where to start. I have been a member of tis community for more than 25 years now and I must say, what a huge let down this area has become. Warm Springs Middle School is a prime example of all the bad things to come. Drugs are a huge problem in this school and the staff is not very responsive to parents needs. It is time to move. The entire valley has gone to the bad and I feel it is going to get worse!
—Submitted by a parent
Terrible School. constant drug searches and rap music playing at the lunches. You can tell by the teachers attitude they've had a pay decrease and my child has to suffer. TERRIBLE!
—Submitted by a parent
Looks can be deceiving about this school. Nice school grounds, terrible when it comes to learning. I found it hard for my child to keep from being distracted when having rap songs playing between classes, during class and lunch. Teachers are not all that great either. During one of the open houses the teacher spoke more about her cat and dog then she did about academics. And another one of my child's teachers assigned a homework assignment called 10 ways to act like your sick so you can stay home from school (wow how appropriate for middle school teens) I would not suggest this school at all. I do not know how they're going to ever receive their California Distinguished Schools going at this rate.

I have a child attend this school I can,t even get the school principal or no one to call me back to see how my children is doing in school shame of the leadership
—Submitted by a parent
This school does not ensure the success of all students. I am very disappointed in the lack of attention to students needing additional help.
—Submitted by a parent

—Submitted by a student

—Submitted by a student
This School is Excellent for any student who loves enjoying learning! Classes are Well done, and my school also keeps students wondering about life after High School with College projects, virtual homes, etc. Definately one of the best in the Temecula/Murrieta Valley. (the School Custodian, Mr.Mesa, is also The Coolest guy ever
—Submitted by a student
I just love this schoool...the staff will open up to you, and will actually be responsible for what you do. WSTV is a program that let's you know how to save the school. I suggest this school is the best I have ever went to.
—Submitted by a student
Warm Springs middle school is one of the best middle schools in California. The Staff and Teachers really take an interest in all of the children. Also, they reward the children for all of their hard work. Teachers at this school are willing to work with each student individually so that they can be successful. This school has an exelent Band and Music program. The Music teachers also work with the children to help them learn and play instruments. The Warm Springs Symphonic Band recieved a 2 rating at their first festival competition. They scored a 2 on a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the superior rating. So overall this middle school will really benifit your childs' education. They will without a doubt enjoy their time at Warm Springs and have a good time.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.
