Arizona Middle School Reviews

 
my son goes to Arizona Middle School and he gets a very good education and the teachers are great

My son and two nieces currently attend Arizona Middle School. The staff is great and the activities are good for the students. The after school program is awesome. Test scores are comparable. Our sports program is awesome and growing. I recommend this school to anyone. My son is a honors student and is going to La Sierra next year in the AP program.

I'm currently attending Arizona Middle School, receiving straight-As, and participating in several of the clubs offered by my school. I think very highly of my school (and coming from a student, that should mean a lot), but if I were to congratulate it in one aspect, I would have to say that whoever interviewed and chose the staff members (the principal, I would assume) did an excellent job. Every teacher I've ever had at this school has put extra effort into making it easy for me to learn. Almost all of the teachers are strict when it comes to enforcing rules and making sure we learn the concepts yet very cool and upbeat. Students actually enjoy classes, but the teachers make to discipline us as well. Also, the counselours are always kind and ready to be helpful. Overall, I am proud to call myself a soon-to-be alumni of this school.

There are both good and bad things at this school. The mathematics department is having trouble for a reason; the school has a lot of new teachers. Some positive aspects include Pentathlon (the signature club), AVID (from which it became a model school), and a friendly atmosphere. Arizona may also be very old- but will get a new two-story building in fall 2007; in addition, the district is expecting a new gym for it in the future. Test scores have risen dramatically over the years. If people would just give it a chance, then it would be just as good as any wealthy middle school in places like Irvine or Poway.

Arizona seems to be a well structured atmosphere for our impressionable children. I am impressed with the teachers and counselor. I see my daughter has developed a more responsible attitude. Hats off to the teachers!

Few artistic electives (art, creative writing and band) since the industrial tech. class was calnceled. Many students enrolled in math intervention or reading intervention as their elective. Top-credentialed teachers and innovative programs, such as interventions and pull-outs during P.E. Won cleanest school award three years in a row. Won Academic Pentathlon at one oar many levels for Riv. Co. last three years in a row. School has increased test scores past few years except this year; students struggling in math. There is a desperate need for more parental involvement at this school. We need volunteers, materials and support.

This is a great school in our area. The staff is very friendly and hard working.

Arizona Intermediate School has outstanding academic and social excellence.Being at Arizona has taught me respect and responsibility. With that I have also reached an academic excellence further than ever before. The staff at Arizona is kind and caring. Take it from someone who resides at this wonderful school.At Arizona every problem is delt with great perseverance and curiousity. As a student at Arizona I am proud to say my school has brought me to the conclusion that we are the best and that is done with hard work and teamwork.

I have yet to speak to the principal or my student's counselor after several requests. The policy of being open and keeping the parent informed isn't being upheld. If a child is in need of academic help, and the parent has tried several times to initiate contact with the teacher, I think the teacher should follow up. That has also been the case with my student. My son's counselor wasn't even aware of my students risk of losing credit for his class. How is it that the Administration staff isn't informed? I have yet to be contacted by anyone at the school in regards to my student's lack of credit and what is needed to make it up. Very poor communication, and follow through.
