Alki Middle School

Excellent academics, athletics, art and music. Highly effective principal. The teachers care about the student's academic achievement and involvement.

I like the teachers and school work but the one thing that isn't very wondeerful about this school is the drama. It follows you whever you go.

Right now i am currently a 7th grade student at the school and i must say that i have seen the reviews so far some bad some good so i'm here to put my input Alki middle school is great although some teachers could be more supportive most are great and want to help you althought during spring and summer they do really crack down on the clothing rules. May i warn you though for any students that are thinking about Alki that they do NOT have lockers so you do have to carry everything with you . The intermerial teachers are wonderful adn nice so there should not be a problem with them I prefer Mrs. Hebner the choir teacher and the spanish teacher Mrs. Myres( having her baby soon!) The spanish though is only fro 7th and 8th graders and you have to be approved. Good bye Go Wolves!!!!

Being a student at Alki middle school I've learned from this passed year that the teachers seemed to be more concerned about dress code than teaching. If they would have put as much effort in helping students and listening to concerns as they put into finding the girl with the shorest shorts or the boy with the lowest pants, maybe Alki could have had a better outcome in some students education. My personal opinion.

I am a student attending Alki right now as a seventh grader. I find that all of my teachers are extremely nice, but there are some that are better than others. The main problem is the students. The 8th graders this year are a pretty rough bunch and I have heard numerous complaints about them made by teachers. But, taking away the entire 8th grade, I feel that this school has been a good experience and will hopefully be a good preparation for high school.

I just graduated from Alki this year. I also went to Pleasant Valley Middle School and Gaiser Middle Schol. I thought that Alki was an ok school. The students come from wealthy familys. I trasfered in the middle of the year and did not feel very welcomed by most of the staff or students. I was lucky because i happened to have known students at the school because if i hadnt i think i would have been all alone. There are not very many extra curricular ativities besides sports. There are some good teachers but there are also alot of horrible teachers. Some are very nice but do not help the students learn. If I could choose if I went to Alki after my experiences I wouldnt have changes school.

My son is an honor roll student this year, and a very successful student. My son s success is truly due to his effort and not due to the school administration. On two separate occasions, I have had an opportunity to interact with the Alki Middle School administration. I found the principal and associate principal to be extremely argumentative and unwilling or unable to assist with any resolution.

I have found the principle and associate principles to argumentative, unreasonable, and disrespectful.

My child went from being a 4.0 student to a less than 2.0 student in his first year at this school. When contacting teachers, counselors and principals I found them to be disrespectful of both the students and other staff members and unresponsive to parents. My child changed schools and is getting back on track. My child had attended the elementary school next door so the transition should not have been the problem. I'm sure it is a good school for some but it just wasn't for us. Unless you have time to volunteer at the school you will not know how your kid is doing.
