Pinacate is GREAT!!! Why is it rates a 2. They have everything that matters me. They have good lunch every day, teachers that help me afterschool when I need it, kind staff, lots of electives with more coming, kind staff, fair rules, and so many different classes that fit your needs. I have just started Pinacate about a month ago and I have loved since I first saw it. They have pretty challenging programs such as band or the dance squad.

The assistant principal of this school seems direct, efficient, and able to lead. I am sure that the responsibilities that go with running a large middle school in a low-income, ethnicaly-diverse area, with little parental involvement are tremendous. My son has come home from school numerous times with bruises on him from being 'jumped' at school; at first we directed him on how to handle the situations himself ('go to a teacher, administrator or other employee and report these attacks'), but when in became apparent that his reports were ignored, we had to go to the school and demand action. The assistant principal was very concerned and cooperative. Although she did not seemed shocked at our report, she said this absolutely should never happen and said she would do her best to be sure they stopped. She worked to familiarize my son with the security staff at the school, and advised his individual teachers of the problems. His language arts teacher has gotten to know him and has been very effective in teaching him. My son tested high enough to be transitioned out of the RSP (Resource)Program of Special Education, but I am concerned that he did not have a true transition - it was more like he was 'dropped' from the program and left to sink or swim. For the most part, the other teachers have not made much of an effort to get to know my child, or familiarizing themselves with his situation or letting my child know them. They seem guarded. I feel this has hindered his 'transition' and his education in general. The school sends home a calendar each month, which is good to have, but a newsletter with more information would be appreciated.
