San Elijo Middle School, 6-8 (Public)

In the begining of my son atttending this school, things seemed to be fine. But as the school year progressed we started seeing problems. Some of the teachers diffitnely should not be teaching there. We feel the level of academtics is strresed. And yes !there is a constant drug problem at this school. Not enough adult eyes on what is truely happening there. I feel the communication between students and adminstrators is lacking a great deal. I sure hope they can solve this schools flaws, because I feel it has many. My son will not be attending next year!!!!!!!!

i go to school at san elijo middle it is a great school!!!! we have tons of sports here great teachers LOV THIS SCHOOL!!!

I am also a parent of a child attending San Elijo and agree with the statement above - the foul language is very bad and the teachers do nothing about it- my child came home very upset at the way some of her peers were acting although nervous that if she said anything that she would be casted out-- The level of class in this school really needs to change - I have been in schools in LA in what people said were bad areas and they had tougher rules So Teachers grow up!!! and Teach and be good role models shame on you!!!!

I'm a student at San Elijo Middle School. So far, it has been a great school year. They should have lockers though. Anyways, it's a great school, and the trachers are awesome.

While i felt my child was safe at san elijo middle, & impressed w/ the principal running a tight ship as far as no gangs, drugs, or bullying, i heard alot of cussing & saw very inappropriate behavior right in front of the staff who did nothing! it was disturbing. My son doesn't like the way his own peers 'speak'. He told me he didn't want to listen to that kind of language and that nobody does anything about it, & we're not that uptight. He's a great kid & some of his teachers were unbelievably mean, blatent about who their favorites were, & shamed several kids in front of the whole class. This is such an important time in these kids' lives. Their bodies are changing, they're forced to see much more than necessary as it is, they still need warmth. This is not a warm & fuzzy school.

Great parent involvement and fun enviornment for kids. But I'd really like to see more quality academic programs. Compared with our neighbor school Carillo school, we need to be more motivated.

My son is about to complete his 1st grade year. His teacher Mrs. Anderson has been outstanding. The other teachers I have met and the principal are all very involved and of the highest caliber.

Absolutely a great start for a new school!There is so much pride that shows on so many levels! Great quality of teachers,(Mrs Goodman, Miss Rockwell and Mrs Vonschlieder are all great!) great arts program, plenty of extra curricular, KOC could be improved, Parent involvement is amazing and it's what makes this school special! The principals have been so accomodating on every level and it shows how badly they want to succeed in providing the best education for every child that sets foot on the campus! I feel so blessed to have my daughters in this school! I would like to see more from the GATE program.

What can I say besides wow! This has been an incredible year and a half. There are extra-curric activities, fabulous award winning music program, avid for college prep, honors/CJSF, model technology program and so much more. The sports include girls Volleyball, boys and girls basketball, Cross Country and Track. The most parental involvement of any school I have ever seen. Awesome and active PTO. I feel so lucky to live in this fabulous community and be a part of this awesome school with amazing administration and teaching staff.

This school has an amazing parent volunteer base that resinates through the community. You feel good and wish to help out to follow the base.
