Doris Stahl Junior High School

I feel that this was a great school. There are fewer and fewer elective options each year (this year they cut all drama classes). The principal will tell you she understands any concerns you bring to her but then does nothing to fix the situation. Stahl has always been a school of the haves and have nots but the problem is growing every year. The staff who supported the students are leaving and the new staff shows little concern for helping struggling students. Trying to meet with a teacher before or after school is a nightmare, many time my daughter would show up and find out the teacher forgot and needs to reschedule, this happened with more then one staff member. I was happy but am no longer and hope to keep my youngest out of this school.

Although the school was crowded when my son attended, he was surrounded by supportive teachers and parents.

Academics at this school are well rounded and the teachers (for the most part) care about the kids and are in contact with parents before issues arise. One area I am very impressed with is school security. The two in-house security personnel at Stahl are wonderful, as is the vice principal. In this day and age, school security is important and these two individuals seem to take this serious and work with the kids to gain their trust. A nice addition to the academics. I wish the District would address class size as they seem a bit crowded.

Overall Quality is excellent, & the standards for advanced math, social studies & english are rigorous. I would like to see more options for music, art, & social activities, & I would like it if the school worked harder to raise student participation in these activities.
