We love Bret Harte Middle School because the teachers are fantastic!
Im a current student of this school and I personally think this is a great school. The good things are: Diversity, and the teachers are veru helpful in any way, the counselor is supportive al though they do need at least 1 more counselor. The bad things: The bathrooms are great but good enough to to your business, too many fights and suspension, and it is quite dirty. Sometimes the principal can be helpful and sometimes the ooposite but in the end, Bret harte is a wondeful! school.
There are many excellent teachers. My kids have had great experiences with Cody, Grimes, Yamoto (retired), Fitzsimmons. The principal is very engaged with parents.
This school changed my life. Teachers were very great. it was organized
Bret Harte has some hard working teachers. The administrative support staff is not helpful. The principal is often busy. There needs to be more than one counselor for the entire school.
Bret Harte is a great school, it's a big school but surprisingly it's a family environment. The student body is diverse and the faculty reflects the diversity of the student body. The Principal and Assistant Principal offer support without being critical if you have a student struggling academically. The students are addressed in a manner to prepare them for taking control of their own destiny's and making choices good for their lives.
Bret Harte is a great school. Our 2 children attended and experienced excellent teaching, and good foundation for high school. Bret Harte has 2 Nationally Certified Teachers in Sci/Math. There is an active PTA, SSC and Parent Center. A monthly newsletter is mailed home for more communication. Make sure to visit this school when making your decision!
