This school failed when it came to handling harassment. During my junior year, a male student…read morerepeatedly poked me in my chest area. I reported it to an administrator, but he only received a one day suspension, and nothing else was done. Later, another student constantly stared at my chest, made inappropriate comments, called me "Hollywood's favorite slut," used slurs toward me, and blamed his ADHD for his behavior. After I reported him, I was promised that we would not be placed in the same classes the following year, but that promise was broken. He continued making comments, and despite multiple complaints from both me and my mom, the school did very little. It wasn't until I mentioned changing my schedule that the administration finally seemed willing to listen. Overall, I felt ignored and unsupported. The school repeatedly failed to follow through on its promises and did not take my concerns seriously, not safe for girls at all. I recommend Los Osos or Alta Loma I hear they take these things more seriously‍‍

Had to come by for a meeting with one of the assistant principals over my kid…read more For the most part the meeting went well but one thing I absolutely can't stand is how everything is so darn secretive now. The schools want to tell the kids to correct actions without telling who the people are. If someone is masking what they're feeling and has someone thinking things are good how would you know what to do or how to handle situations. It makes absolutely no sense to me the way schools are required to handle situations. If students have problems with each other, it shouldn't be secretive. It should be brought to like to truly deal with it and ensure it gets resolved. If not, then there's not much I can do to help handle the situation!

Also, I got spoiled milk one time which was disgusting. In the cafeteria bathroom there is a stain on the wall that looks like feces. Lastly, a lot of the workers in the school are sexist because, first of all the girl's bathrooms is way cleaner than the boy's bathrooms I know because girl's have explained how clean it is to me before, second of all most of the time when girls ask to go somewhere or do something bad the teachers and security say nothing to them while they are literally staring at them but the SECOND a boy does it we get in trouble. The only reason I would stay is because of the main people in the office because they are nice and cool.

In my time observing the school environment, I saw a consistent pattern that concerned me as an…read moreeducator and community member. Much of the focus seemed to be on themed dress-up days and surface-level activities, while instructional time often felt minimal or unfocused. Students were present, but meaningful academic learning did not seem to be the priority I expected from a public school. Teachers and staff appear to have stable, well-funded positions, yet the level of academic engagement and accountability for student outcomes felt low. It came across more like a day-care environment than a focused learning environment. I'm sharing this because families deserve transparency. If you're considering Alder Middle School, I strongly suggest asking clear questions about how instructional minutes are protected, how often students receive rigorous academic lessons, and how the school measures actual learning growth.
