It's a very good school. The teachers are all good, but like the post below me said, it could use more diversity. There aren't really many Caucasians or Mexicans/Hispanics here, most are Asian (I consider Indian as Asian). But they have decent sports, good staff, and a lot of students are very nice here. I've enjoyed my time at this school, and being an 8th grader, I will miss Quimby next year.
I'm currently a 8th grader at this school. A lot of the teachers are very passionate about making sure us kids succeed. I've made a lot of good friends here. It's been an ok time here. The only reason why I'm giving this school two stars is mainly because of the environment and student body. A lot of fights happen here, most students don't really care about school and slack off, plus the environment isn't welcoming. Rules edge on being unreasonable. It could also use more diversity. It's disappointing and I'm sure this school can be better.
I love this school! I currently go to Quimby Oak, and has loved it so far. Although, there were ups and downs, I still like it. I'm a 4.0 GPA student. The teachers are very serious about grades and how hard you try. Just turn in your homework, and you won't get any mishaps. The Assistant principals are very organized and run a great school. The principal, Mr. Bond, looks very serious and cares about his students. In conclusion, the staff and assistant principals/principal has done an amazing job with the school.
My daughter got straight A's here, they do lot's of activities. Its a GREAT school.
I am a 7th grader attending Quimby Oak Middle School. Oh I do must say! This school is amazing! I've gotten better grades than I've ever had in Elementary school! From A-'s, to A+'s! The teachers all care about you and all have the same goal: To help you succeed. This school also has wonderful sports you can participate in! Sports such as basketball, Cross Country and so much more! Also there are wonderful events! I've gone to the first school dance and enjoyed it greatly! This school is simple amazing and am eagar to graduate in 2011.
Great school with great teachers that care about their students education and they take the time to make sure the students are on track.
This school is absoultely fantastic. Not only do they provide clear understandings on the lessons in class but they provide a challenge both mentally and physically. In sports they definetly push you do be one of the best. In a good way of course. In all this school has a good academic and sports program.

I'm Andrea Regencia and I just graduated at Quimby Oak on June 11 09, and I know that Quimby taught me well, not just on academics, but on other stuff that they know we are going to need in our future. The staff in there are so cool. They are loving, and they care for their students. They are not going to let you fail at anything, they try their best to help you. At my last day of school at Quimby Oak, I thought of not leaving the school, I had a lot of memorable memories, good and bad, I'm still going to cherish it. I love Quimby Oak Middle School, I hope I could visit them soon, and thank them for everything they have done to me. I hope people will see the real wellness of this school.
