Charles W. Tewinkle Middle School Reviews

 
This is my son's second year at Tewinkle. We moved to this area from Buena Park where my son went to elementary school for all 6 grades and kindergarten. The move was difficult for him. He had no friends as they were all left in Buena Park schools. I am happy to say he has adjusted well at Tewinkle and now has many friends. He loves school and is really working hard this year to improve his grades over last year. Tewinkle is a great school.

I am a teacher at TeWinkle, and I am so proud of the gains our school has made. Our principal has set a climate where teachers are allowed to teach and students are encouraged to reach for excellence. I saw very few, if any, disruptions during this last school year. If you want a school that is supportive and active in the community - TeWinkle is the best choice!

I am a teacher at TeWInkle. Nothing special about it either way. It's a normal middle school with the same positives/negatives as any other. Your child will succeed if you value education.

i currently go to tewinkle and i think its a cool school i havent seen any physical bullying yet so i think in those years they bullied but not this year so maybe there is a little name calling but doesnt that happen in almost every school if you never attended that school dont vote.

Even though some people don't want to pass, most of the students do want to succeed. The teachers are good and Dr.Baurmeister (sp?) has many programs to help failing students with their studies.

My son tells me that his classes at Tewinkle are filled with so many disruptive students that many of his teachers have to yell just to get the class to quiet down so they can begin teaching. Although this may work I don t really think it looks that professional and it wastes my son s learning time.

I currently go to tewinkle school(2007) and it is truly horrible. The teachers are very un-open and embracing with there students. I get bullied alot here and I do not reccomend this school for any parents.

I attended Twinkle (as we called it) from 1999-2000. The bullying was intense, and resulted in broken (nose, ribs). The teachers knew what was going on and supported the bullies, once informing me that I would have detention for a week while I was at the emergency room getting stitches from being smashed with a glass bottle. I went on a hunger strike and went from 85 lbs to 65 before the let me to transfer to Ensign with some classes at OCC. If your child is black, foreign other than Mexican, small or smart, do NOT send them Tewinkle.

I was a student at TeWinkle Middle School from 2003-2006, and I had a great experience. There are many programs that will benefit every kid, such as Nature Academy, Leadership, Web Desgin and much more. All of the teachers I had taught me loads of useful information that I know have prepared me for real life. I recommend TeWinkle Middle School for anyone looking for a great school.

Every school will have issues. I like the direction the new administration is taking the school and I think my daughter has had a really positive experience here.

I go to this school and I personally hate it. They have new principals and they are very mean and strict. They seem to want everyone to conform into one little group of perfect people. I mean they have the stupidest dress code rules and GANAS list which I don't even think should be there. A friend of mine and I were going to protest against them to the school board because of this. So
