San Elijo Middle School is a great school, I can't believe all these rude comments about this school. I guess everyone has their own opinion. I have always taught my kids to respect others and be polite and to stay away from drama. My opinion, I think parents NEED to be more involved in their school and out. And because of that I have NO issues with my children at this school (=

As you can see where the bullying is coming from, the parents! I posted a comment on here last night and now it's gone! Funny how the ther negative remarks are still there but mine. I only speak the truth here. I have seen and experienced this first hand at this school. Drugs, bullying, terrible teaching tactics, and administration is unprofessional.

First, I would like to say that I have had nieces and nephews going to this school since it opened and all of them recommended the school. This is the first year I have had a child at San Elijo Middle school. We have not had any issues. In fact, the only thing that I see that is lacking is enough parent volunteers. My wife and I currently both volunteer in the schools and what we have found is if you want to effect positive change then get off your butts and help out.

BIG bullying problem at this school. Adminstration not suitable and knowledgeable enough to handle this modern day school epidemic and choose to look the other way, despite its "programs" to reduce the bullying at this school. Bullying is also part of the staff routine in kicking undesirable kids out of the school. We are stuck with a house here, so we have to deal with it. For those of you not stuck here, best you leave.

I was an Eagle and i have to say there were great teachers in my experience. Mr Piro Mr Love and Mr Cole were the best teachers i've ever had even going into highschool.

This has got to be one of the worst schools in San Diego. On the outside, the neighborhood is nice, but the inside is rotten to the core. Kids are all about the sex here, and teachers dont care. My son and daughter cannot stand this school. If you are not part of the "group", you children will be ostracized and bullied. On top of that, they just taxed our community $280 million for prop K fees and are still crying budget cuts! We are going to cut our losses, leave, and start over somewhere else.
