Bell Middle School

This school is very irresponsible. They allow things to go on and the parent is the last one to know usually. They allow people to come on campus that have nothing to do at the school except cause trouble. Bad bad school.

i am a 8TH at bell . and that is the best school ever i have alot of friends there . and i loved it i didnt have a choice were too go at first but im glad i chose this one ! and i have a 3.5 at the first semester because i got the help that i needed .

I am a former 8th grader of Bell and i have to say this school is great and nice to be in.The school is so diverse in races and you can always find a group of friends to be in.Despite the rumors about being Bell being a bad school well that is just not true.The teachers actually care about teaching us and stay after school if we need to catch up on our missed work or get some extra credit in.Great school alot of memories from that school for me to remember.

I moved across the country to San Diego, but I had no clue what I was getting myself into at Bell. The first day of school was very unorganized, no teachers told me where the classrooms were, and I was very confused. I tried making friends, but everyone was so clique - ish that every time I would try to talk to someone, they would walk away and laugh. The teachers could care less about my education, and I was learning things I learned back in 4th grade! The lunch may be good, but it's very unhealthy. They have no tables to eat at, you can only eat on benches. The campus is really unclean, and quite frankly it looks like a prison. Not trying to be racist, but white people are the minority. Needless to say, I lasted 3 days at Bell before moving. Do not go to Bell! Please!

School was a little above average, our son is going to Coronado School of Arts (COSA) as a result of the Drama program I really recommand this for your child.

I am a student at this school and yeah this school has great teachers, only reason students have bad grades is because they tend not to pay attention dont just blame it on the teachers. Teachers stay afterschool to help students get caught up in their work or if they need help in anything. Well tucking your shirt in is kinda uncomfortable and but I guess the school administrators enforce it since it makes you look 'Perfessional' I just dont like the school administrators, I see kids at lunch constantly worrying if there is a school administrator around just because their shirt is untucked because the punishment is picking up trash and looking like a fool. Overall the whole school is perfectly great in my opinion.

this school is a great place to be. this school teaches children what its like to be a person of choice. even though there are a lot of fights, the kids learn there lesson. im a bell student myself and im a sixth grader. this school has a ot of programs that kids can participate in and thats the good thing about it. me and my brother go there and even though some people dont have the best time, me and my brother know that we need to avoid what bad things that are going around us.

This is a horrible school. I have two children that attend and they have been in several schools because we are a military family, but they have the absolute worst grades while attending Bell...and most of the teachers there are unreachable and seem to not care.

My child is a former student at Bell middle school.She has complained about the recent fights but she is still very happy there.Her teachers are very supportive.She has outstanding grades but can work on that 'C' she got.Over all I think Bell middle school is okay.
