My experience at this school was close to terrible. The administration/ office people are super…read moreunsupportive. I remember telling the school COUNSELOR that I was getting bullied. Her response is forever imprinted in my memory. She told me I was overreacting. What kind of adult has that type of reaction to a CHILD telling them that they were getting mistreated. On top of that, they are quick to point fingers, accuse students for being "bad", and not look into the students' situation at home. I was going through the roughest period of my life and they made it a thousand times worse. I hope no child has to go through that. Miramontes, Villa, Canales, and Schreiber. I hope you guys do the world a favor and retire.

Be prepared if you send your child to Alvarado. It's not all bad. The administration tries, but…read morethere's just too many students and not enough support. This school can get pretty scary and unsafe. Dropping off in the morning is a nightmare. Leave early and be prepared to wait. Major traffic and unsafe driving. Daily fights occur between both boys and girls. Smoking, vaping, alcohol and drugs are a common place at Alvarado Intermediate School. Not much justice for the victims. No substantial consequences for the criminals. Bullying is a part of the culture. Rarely do the offenders receive more than a, "talking to" for their offences. Pay the money and go to a private school or opt to Ybarra or Oswalt. You won't regret it.

Why would you continuously give funding to a team that doesn't need it. Multiple jerseys and helmets don't make a team better. Focus on spending the funds on making the school environment better.

What a wonderful school with wonderful teachers. I have been very blessed to have been taught by…read morelegendary older teachers, as well as by fun and creative newer teachers. The student life here is very diverse and fosters academic and intellectual growth while being in a fun and friendly environment. The sports teams aren't the greatest, but they do offer physical activity, fun, and the opportunity to gain experience in teamwork and leadership. I would just be wary about joining the badminton team. Years ago, I was a victim of racial prejudice by the coach, who is still there today. Generally he does not let you "make the team" if you are obviously of Latin American or Mexican American descent. I had made the team based on my Asian looks, but I am a certain percentage Latin American, and when he found out, he told me that I was unfit to play because of it. He then resigned in fear that I would report him but came back to coach after I had graduated. Also, be careful if you're a young Asian girl on the team. He is a flirtatious guy with a reputation for getting too close to the girls and picking the varsity team based on cuteness [girls only] and not actual talent or skill. Mothers and fathers beware. This guy is out for your babies. Other than that, great school! I miss it dearly, but I know it is somewhere that I hope to send my children to in the future. The staff here teaches great moral values, tolerance, and the academics are up to par so as to prepare you for college.

Great school. Amazing staff. They have afterschool tutoring. And the kids are good.read more
