My son plays basketball here on the weekends and it's great that we get to use the courts and the parking lots. I read in the paper that the school district was installing new AC units on all the glass rooms and office buildings. This is very nice because other schools in the area are still very hot. So from an outsiders view this school gets 5 stars all the way.

Though it is a small extension of the main campus in Fountain Valley, it is generally quite…read moreequipped for students. The campus comprises of only two buildings, but includes a mini student lounge with tables, vending machines, copiers, microwaves (HUGE PLUS) and a refrigerator. It also has a study lab with computers where you can get tutoring. The lecture rooms have projectors, long, spacious desks, and comfortable chairs that don't strain my back. I'm taking physiology right now my only complaint is that the lab isn't equipped with enough materials for students so we often have to share in groups. Big plus is that parking is free (which is completely unheard of for a college campus) in the lot that also share with the court house, which always has space.

He is funny, witty and has an acute working knowledge of all things science. He uses a technology infused teaching method that captivates his students. He is strict ,yet universally loved. Perhaps it is his plethora of characters and costumes that keep the kids on the edge of their seats! ( my personal favorite is El Cheato, the luche libre masked czar of test taking) Mr.Wood is equally amazing. He has been on many scientific expeditions, even living in Antarctica for months at a time. While away he shares his unique experiences with his students via Skype & video blog. His unique experiences prove to be scientific fodder for the young mind. Mrs. McNally too has an ability to reach children who in other classrooms are not as successful. It's this ability to connect with all her students that makes her another amazing asset to Talbert. Mr. Sotolango, besides being a dream boat, brings enthusiasm to the classroom everyday. He is a favorite amongst students and can often be found during his 30 min duty free lunch dominating students from the soccer field to the basketball court. I could go on and on. Mr. Fockler, Mrs. James, etc etc.....Talbert is by far the best middle school option in FVSD!!!

This guy exposed himself in front of my 6&7 year old classroom and then tried to have me served with a restraining order for being a whistleblower. He hired fountain valley school district to have MARK griffey from nationwide legal llc at 901 w civic center drive falsely submit documents. This is typical from a school which their previous principal committed suicide for doing similar activities. Have your kid do one on one's with this little pervert as opposed to a man not having his pants down in front of your kids classroom. I just filed a motion to quash and a formal complaint. Be careful who is around your kids!! Newland Elementary School is like that movie "the substitute " scandalous scumbag School which still allows predators to teach their students.
