An intimate reception was held upstairs on the outdoor patio. Plenty of seating and the layout was very welcoming. The film screening was shown in the theatre. There was a short walk between the two spaces. The grounds were well maintained and the restrooms were close proximity to the theatre. I'll be sure to check out future events at this venue.

The head of the administration is a political figure. If you're Jewish, the school does not care about you. They don't care whether you stay or you go. They don't care about anti-Semitic incidents on campus. Anti-Israel is not anti-Jewish for them. You will just yell into the void when bad things happen. There is zero accountability. I'm feeling very poorly about a school I was very excited to have my child join. If you're left leaning and hate Jews, this is the right place for you.

I want to start this with my BIGGEST issue I had at this school. I was hit by a teacher. Marie…read moreJuergens, who STILL teaches spanish here. In my 7th grade here in 2016, she saw me texting on my phone under the table (I was texting my mom saying I felt depressed that day, something I struggled with a lot at the time), which was not allowed. She came over to me and instead of telling me to put my phone away, she came up behind me and hit me multiple times on the back of my neck. She had a closed fist, she wasn't slapping me. I was not close with this teacher and I always behaved in this class- not like that matters either way. YOU SHOULD NEVER PUT YOUR HANDS ON ANYONE, especially a MINOR. I started to cry because I was overwhelmed and embarrassed that my entire class saw me get hit and that I was hit in the first place. I put my head down on the desk, she walked away, and I texted my mom what happened. She told the class as I was crying "is she seriously crying?" My mom called the school immediately, a staff member came to get me from class. I talked to the principal, they said they were sorry that ever happened, and they said they would talk to her. She was out of class for a few days with a substitute. The next time I saw her, she told the class "I have to treat you guys nicer now, since SOMEONE (looks over at me) got me in trouble." She was never fired. I had to continue to be in her class for the rest of the year. This is absolutely abhorrent behavior from her, the principal, and the staff. I would rather be understaffed in Spanish teachers than have a teacher stay in their job who has hit a child. They saw me cry, they saw me extremely upset, and my mom was there to report it with me. NOTHING. HAPPENED. Do not take your kid here. They do it care about abuse towards their students. The rest of this review covers teachers and how they treat students, my experience with not getting help when I was undiagnosed with ADHD and treated badly for my symptoms that were clearly signs of ADHD, and teachers poor teaching methods. * Not being treated with empathy while struggling with ADHD symptoms: I was often labeled as a kid that didn't pay attention and got bad feedback on my progress reports from this. I felt like the staff at the school did not properly support me and just focused on punishing students rather than finding the root cause. Turns out, all of my issues were signs of ADHD--something I wasn't diagnosed with until I was 18. Had a teacher or staff member sat with me and tried to understand why I would talk in class, had a lack of motivation at times, and had a hard time with traditional studying methods, it would have saved me and I could have had disability accommodations that I now receive while in college. Instead, they treated me like a bad kid. My science teacher, Kimberly Frank, stopped her lecture to tell the entire class that I was annoying. This sounds made up because of how inappropriate that is, but it's true. The entire class was talking to their partners, but she singled me out many times like this. Staff need to be better trained and to treat ALL students with respect. It's absurd. In my 8th grade, I had to get hospitalized due to depression that was caused from how I was being treated at this school. I missed one of my Spanish exams and instead of being allowed to retake the exam, I was given an F and it dropped my grade from a B to a D. This is forever on my transcript. The school could care less about mental illnesses students struggle with, which they knew I had. One of the counselors there even asked one of my classmates if "I was still suicidal" which is a major violation of my personal information and privacy. That should be discussed between me and my parents. Absolutely INSANE. * Bullying and racism on campus: I experienced a lot of drama and bullying on campus--things staff were aware of. There was antisemitism, racism against people of color, and other forms of discrimination. I also had peers of mine get in trouble, if they were caught, for sending naked photos to other students. Things staff did not care to look into, despite it being illegal for minors to distribute that information. * Teachers not being good at teaching: My teachers, mainly math and science, were not good at their jobs. The way that they taught was not engaging at all. Just sitting and writing things down and having students copy it. That's what I experienced. No engaging questions to the class or walking around to see how students are doing. When students didn't understand teachers seemed upset rather than actually try to help them figure out what they are struggling on and showing them other methods to learn (which is what they are taught to do. There is not one single method to learn something). The worst teachers i've ever had throughout my entire school experience of 15+ years was at Standley Middle school. Do not take your kid here. Just take them literally anywhere else.

I rarely write reviews, but my experience at Standley was so upsetting that I feel compelled to…read morespeak out. Throughout my time there, I witnessed and, unfortunately, experienced firsthand how some people behaved in a way that was truly unacceptable. The environment was filled with clankers--people who seemed more interested in tearing others down than fostering respect. More troubling was the blatant racism I encountered toward Black and Mexican students, staff, and community members. It was heartbreaking to see such prejudice still alive and unchecked in a place that should be about learning and inclusion. I hoped things would improve, but instead, I saw little to no effort to address these issues. The toxicity and discrimination made it a hostile environment for those targeted, and it's a shame because everyone deserves to feel safe and respected. Unfortunately, my experience at Standley has left me disappointed and disillusioned. I cannot recommend a place with such a serious lack of respect and equality. kaysen ackter was a privileged white bitch

Our family has enjoyed being a Roosevelt family for many years. Our youngest is now in 6th grade,…read moreand the transition from his elementary school to Roosevelt has been smooth. Our oldest is now a senior in high school and is earning the IB diploma at San Diego High (feeder school). He really learned a lot at Roosevelt, and I credit his Roosevelt teachers for laying the foundation he needed to achieve so much in High School. The family community at Roosevelt is wonderful. The parents are all very welcoming and helpful. They have fun, laid-back special events where everyone can have a good time. The campus is really nice (it was recently renovated), centrally located, and my kids love being right next door to the zoo. We just attended open house, and as always, I was blown away by the teachers. They all seem to really love being at Roosevelt and take special care of each student individually. They make learning fun, which can be hard in middle school. The academic rigor can be challenging, but the kids are supported while they learn. My kids have a special appreciation for a lot of their Roosevelt teachers, and the older one even keeps in touch with a few after all these years. The new principal, McGee (she started in 2025/26), is a great leader for this school and makes parents feel like they are a part of their students' education, keeps us informed, and seems to have great campus management. We feel that the campus is safe and the kids are cared for by all of the staff. Overall, I would highly recommend Roosevelt. One of our kids attended a charter school many years ago that didn't work out well, and it ended up highlighting the benefit of attending neighborhood public schools - they are special places.

There have been incidents…read morewhere children were physically harmed, yet the administration -- especially the dean and his group -- do everything they can to cover it up. They deny the facts and make it seem like nothing ever happened. Their high ratings are completely misleading. When it comes down to real issues, they suddenly claim that the security cameras weren't working, and that they "can't do anything." I strongly advise every parent: do not send your child here. Your child's safety and well-being will not be protected at this school.

I wish i could rate this 0 stars!…read more I had the WORST time here! I joined in 9th grade a couple of years ago and the bullying started only 3 minutes in. I got called slurs on a daily bases multiple times a day by many different kids. I was bullied so relentlessly that i couldn't even make it past November Break my 10th grade year and that was after wanting to leave the school 2 weeks into my 9th grade year. I had one friend who watched someone come up to me and say that i should go to bible study group so that they can "fix my problem" referring to the fact that I'm gay and then that friend brought me to that bible study group where they tried and failed to convert me. After this I only had two or three friends out of the whole school who didn't betray me the rest of my time there There were many other worse things that happened at this school that I will get into during therapy but not a yelp review I HIGHLY suggest that if your child is not a football playing asshole then DO NOT send them here ESPECIALLY if they are queer or different in anyway cause they will picked on until they can't take it anymore! Leaving this school was the best decision I've ever made for myself, my mental health, and all over well being as a person. The teachers I had were the only good part of this school and I will stand by that till I die. I highly suggest rethinking this school if its on your list to check out!

I'm absolutely disgusted with this school! My child attended both years!

Beside one or two teachers I was very disappointed in how some of them handled situations. I hardly had any communication with any of his teachers regardless how many times I reached out to find out assignments or any thing regarding my child's education! Also your child will not be able to attend any dances or have a chance at extra "special events" if they have an I in any class. I think it's absolutely ridiculous and separates the "good kids from the bad kids!" This is how my child felt! You do not treat children this way and exclude them from events with their friends. Middle school is hard enough. I will not name the teachers names but I've had to help my child with certain classes because the teacher refused to help let alone teach them! Some homework that was brought home was not discussed in class, and lots of assignments making my child feel overwhelmed. It was a constant fight every night because my child was mentally drained! I have read reviews about Dana and heard by a number of people who have attended there or had their child go there that this place is a mess! I also agree! I'm so glad to be almost done with this school! I can't count how many times my child came home upset from that school and because of its TEACHERS! Good luck if your child has to go here. I would really recommend going somewhere else if you have the means!

Lewis is a melting pot of kids from diverse backgrounds. In addition, His staff is proficient, and many of the teachers went beyond my expectations. In particular, Ms. Sandoval is a science teacher who regularly keeps kids AND parents informed of assignments & areas of study where we can engage with our kids to get them to review their lessons. And, I'd like to mention Mr. Hughes who made learning American history more fun. He was named teacher of the year for good reason! Check out their standardized test scores & school rank! Kudos to the principal & his team!

This is why the world is as it is becuase ADULTS who are supposed to supoort our students FAIL them OVER AND OVER!!!! Lewis you are a joke, and your district is a joke, DO BETTER FOR OUR KIDS!!!!!!!
