Margarita Middle School

Outstanding leadership. Top test scores in Riverside County, three years in a row. Excellent advanced math classes taught by competent teachers. They send their students well prepared to compete in AP classes offered at the local High Schools. Highly recommended.

I have been thoroughly impressed with Margarita Middle School. The principal, Mrs. Hayes, sets the tone for the school with an exceptionally supportive and enthusiastic learning environment. Where I was nervous about my child moving to middle school, I have been overwhelmed by my child's increase in responsiblity and independence. The teachers are extremely supportive.

The leadership is outstanding! Mrs.Hayes and her staff work hard to ensure their students reach their academic goals. Students receive a quality education in our school district but Margarita Middle is tops!

My child transferred midyear to MMS. Mr. Beato, a counselor, did everything in his power to make the transition smooth and really worked at welcoming our student. MMS has a program called Epicenter to help new kids get accilmated. Mrs. Hayes is a principal who really cares about students. She is an amazing leader. The 'Prides' are an extra day of elective each week; very enriching. This school is organized and caring. The teachers are extremely fair. Each time my student has approached them, the outcome has been fair. The school we came from was much more challenging academically. I think the expectations ar too low for the students. More should be expected of them academically. Meeting State Standards is not enough in the 21st Century workforce. I see my student trying less but getting good grades. The projects given are not meaningful and graded too easy.

My daughter goes to this school, and I work at it, and it has a wonderful staff! They always go through everything and even though they can be strict, it teachs our kids disipline. Thank you MMS!!!

Difficult to imagine a better school. The teachers are amazing, the students are motivated, and the environment is clean and safe.

Mr. Vaez is amazing! English language arts will never be the same. Terrific education can be had at MMS!

This was a horrible school, I was a student for one year and it was awful never send your student here! Academic teaching was very poor and there were drugs involved with students at this school.
