Sutter Middle School

I am a parent of a current 7th grader and my older daughter was at Sutter last year for 8th grade. They both are having and had wonderful experiences at Sutter. I can't say enough about the fantastic teachers at this school. The teachers take extra time to offer tutoring during their lunch time or after school. They are caring and keep the parents updated on Zangle. The find the teachers at Sutter to be really exceptional. I know that now since my older daughter has moved on to high school, & I don't get the same kind of current feedback like I did from the Sutter teachers, especially with posting their grades on Zangle or on their class website.

My son is in 7th grade at this school. I cannot say enough about how wonderful it is! There is a lot of school spirit, and PTSO is outstanding. Mr. Rodriguez and the office staff are fantastic. I'm not certain why any parent cannot contact the teachers, the emails are on Zangle, the school website, and maybe classjump.I really love using Zangle to keep up with my son's progress. I saw a B go down to a D one day and IMMEDIATELY emailed the teacher. I received a response right away, and always have!! The teachers are always wonderful about helping if my son or I ask. I hope all parents are using Zangle!

The school itself has a great academic curriculum but getting a teacher or staff member to contact you in regards to your child's grades is almost unheard of. I have requested many times for the teacher to call me and nothing. Very disappointing. Also, I agree about the popularity contest but that is with all schools. No matter where you go. I believe in communication between the teacher and parent. There are way too many children out there with no direction and constant ridicule because of failing grades and not being able to keep up with their peers. It's a battle for the child and can become a battle for the parent. No one wants their child to fail. It's heart breaking to not be able to help them because of non-communication from the people we trust. Teachers are suppose to help make our children become well educated so their future is successful. My name is Melody White and I am not scared to post what I feel is important. Especially if it is my child who might suffer because of this. Step it up Teachers, WE ARE WATCHING YOU!!

I've never encountered racism and the school is absolutely wonderful. You would be doing your child a favor by sending then to Sutter.

this school is terrible. racism still exsists , and u find that there is so many snobby kids. It is a big popularity contest and youll be better off sending them some where else

Great school. Best teacher in the state (Jody Cooperman). I came form a catholic school and found compassion, love, learning and direction. I will always remember the welcoming Sutter community as a safe place in a hostile world. From the office people to the classroom it is a total atmosphere of unconditional love. It is a shame I had to leave my church to find it.

This is an excellent school!! My daughter will enter her second year at Sutter. As for the remark below..it is not the school's job to raise your child-you need to do that at home. I am glad that they are strict with discipline at this school. Excellent learning environment.

easy to suspend for punishment-appears they want kids out of the way instead of figuring problem - "OUT OF SIGHT - OUT OF MIND" theory!
