    My daughter transferred to Mesa View at the end of her 8th grade year. Middle school can be a…read moretough place, especially when you are the new kid. The staff and students all were so kind and caring. After promotion I asked her what her favorite thing was about Mesa View and she, without hesitation, spoke of how inclusive and kind everyone was. She made some wonderful friends in her short time there and was able to get involved and make new friends. I am so impressed with the administration and staff. The communication to parents was also very positive and consistent. Loved the experience for my daughter at Mesa.

    I am disappointed with how the school year ended for my daughter…read more She started the year with excellent grades. Midway through the year, she became very ill, and her grades began to suffer. I worked closely with her to help bring them back up, and she was able to improve significantly. While not every grade returned to an A, she was no longer receiving failing grades in her academic classes. The exception was Physical Education. I was unaware that my daughter was struggling with feeling comfortable changing clothes in front of other students for PE. I regularly asked her about her PE grade, whether she was changing for class, and whether she was participating. She consistently told me that she was. When I eventually reached out to her PE teacher, Mr. Jones, to better understand the situation, I was informed that she was not changing for class and was only partially participating. After speaking with my daughter, she explained that she was participating in PE activities but was only partially changing because she felt insecure about changing in front of other girls. I immediately contacted the school and spoke with the principal to address the issue. While a solution was eventually arranged for her to change in the nurse's office, I was disappointed by the interaction. I felt that the conversation was rushed, and the principal's tone came across as irritated and lacking empathy for a situation that was clearly causing my daughter distress. As a parent seeking help for my child, I had hoped for more understanding and support. What concerns me most is that despite identifying the issue and putting a solution in place, my daughter still ended the class with an F. As a parent, there is only so much I can do when I am not physically present at school. I rely on teachers and school staff to communicate concerns when they arise so that we can work together to support students. I believe there were several missed opportunities for intervention. Why was I not contacted earlier when it became clear there was an ongoing issue? Why wasn't my daughter pulled aside to discuss what was preventing her from fully participating? Why weren't counseling resources or additional support offered if staff recognized that she was struggling? If lunch detention was being considered as a consequence, why wasn't parent communication considered as a solution? My daughter is a good student and not a troublemaker. This situation appears to have been driven by insecurity and discomfort, not defiance. I am disappointed that more effort was not made to understand the root cause of the problem and involve me sooner in finding a solution. I also cannot ignore the concern that my daughter may have been overlooked. As a parent, it is difficult not to question whether every student is receiving the same level of attention, support, and advocacy when struggles arise. Regardless of the reason, I believe my daughter deserved earlier intervention and better communication from the school. Parents and schools should be partners in helping students succeed. In this case, I feel that communication, empathy, and support from the school fell short, and I hope future students facing similar challenges receive earlier assistance and understanding.

    I am a parent my son goes here now. We came from Stevenson Ranch. West Ranch High School. Anyways…read moresince enrolling my son this is his 3rd year now. He has excelled here getting almost straight A's Ms Nolan especially has taken my son under her wing making him feel a part of the school with his classes. You couldn't ask for a more dedicated caring teacher not to mention just a nice, kind, loving person. The staff as a whole has been Awesome too bad my other two sons couldn't have come here they would have had a better education by caring teachers and amazing staff. I would highly recommend this school to new families moving into the area. They have amazing programs my son is taking French also. In other schools they offer Spanish and sign only. My son graduates this year and will continue to CC and Edison helped us with that also preparing my son for the next phase of his life. Thank you so much to ms Nolan and the staff. Job well done.

I am certain she wouldn't be able to pass the AP test. She needs to retire soon because she cannot teach. In class today, we were going over a new concept, l'hosptial's rule that is somewhat confusing. Yet, she decides to give us video explanations and guided notes instead of actually teaching. In addition, it is unfortunate that the Mrs. Handel, on the first week of school, was denying students entrance into the main office to speak about changing schedules. When I came to the door, I was speaking to another staff member, and she said to this staff member, "Just tell him no." I find it displeasing that instead of having a conversation (which is her job), this woman decides to shut down students and have a power trip. Other than that, most teachers are acceptable, but unfortunately, some of the staff doesn't care about their jobs or the kids in the school. They don't care at all about the kids

    I am a student here at Sowers. Do not send your kids here!!! The teachers are more interested in…read morewhat's in the lounge at Lunch than teaching you! Not to mention, a (Karen) teacher lost it when I told her she could not take my personal belongings. The only bright light is Mr. Will Johnson, the math teacher. Principal's lame, more focused on his image than safety of children or discipline. He expelled a kid for publishing an AI-generated post of him! If you want your children to learn actual facts about the world, this is not the place! They were bringing political signs during the last Open House in 2025 and having a demonstration outside the school. You have the choice between activists teaching your kids or real teachers! Go to Dwyer or Ensign instead, they're far from decent, but totally better than Sowers!

    "Go to Dwyer. Literally anywhere but here."…read more Sowers Middle School is hands-down the worst school I've ever experienced -- and I say that as someone who survived it and is now in college with my sister Martha, who still flinches when someone mentions "homeroom." Let me be blunt: * The teachers? Half didn't know how to teach, the other half acted like breathing near them was a personal offense. * The Wi-Fi? Better chance of sending a smoke signal. * The food? A tragic mystery that even science can't explain. * And Mrs. Gooner? Don't get me started. She gave off "evil fairy godmother with tenure" energy. Some say she was a witch. I say she is one. On a serious note -- I was verbally and physically mistreated while at this school, and nothing was done about it. It wasn't just bullying from students -- it was the way staff ignored it, brushed it off, or even added to it. I left that school with real scars. DO NOT send your kid to Sowers. If you care about your mental health, safety, and basic human rights, take my advice and go to Dwyer. The difference is night and day. Sometimes there are even dead animals.

She has been…read moreboth challenged and supported academically, and she goes to school each day feeling motivated, engaged, and excited to learn. She loves her teachers and electives, has shown enthusiasm for joining clubs and programs, and has already formed new friendships despite knowing only a few students at the start of the year. The teachers, staff, and administration have all been consistently involved, responsive, and clearly committed to creating the best possible environment for their students. Their proactive communication and transparency in discussing how we can work together to support my daughter's success have been outstanding. I also appreciate how well her classes and teachers are preparing her for the transition to high school and, ultimately, college. Overall, Stacey has exceeded our expectations, and we are truly grateful for the dedication and care shown by everyone on campus.

But this school literally sets high functioning autistic kids up for failure. If you're doing "too well" in a class, they'll just suddenly move you up to a harder class when they're in the middle of a unit, and you'll be completely thrown off by the sudden change, that you'll never be able to recover, and you'll never catch up. For the 2011-2012 school year, they took me out of Olmsheid's math class because I was getting a B+ and that class was a struggle enough.... then they moved me to Mrs Gates's class and I ended up struggling HARD ! Barely passed with a D... They were literally telling me and a few other kids that we were being moved because we were "doing too good" in Olmsheid's class, and even when I tried to explain that I was doing my best and only getting a B, imagine how I'd struggle in a harder class... But hey, nobody listens to children and just dismisses them when they try to explain their needs.
