I'm so proud to be a parent at Cherrylee Chargers. My son is queer, and from the very beginning,…read moreevery single teacher and staff member supported him fully for who he is. They didn't just "accept" him--they celebrated him. It means so much as a parent to know your child can show up to school as their authentic self without fear or hesitation. The teachers went out of their way to make sure he felt included, respected, and safe, and that kind of environment is priceless. Thank you, Cherrylee Chargers, for standing behind our kids and embracing diversity. You've shown me that this school is not just about academics, but also about raising kind, compassionate, and confident young people. He is the one on the left!

Don't get be wrong, I'm not trying to be bias just because I went to school here, but because I been to a lot of the other middle schools, none of them have as safe of a campus as well as the amount of great staff that actually cares about students well being. I have been visiting many schools the past ten years, from volunteering to just pure visiting, and if you're thinking between Garvey Intermediate, Temple, Ynez, and all the other schools, please put Garvey as your consideration! Because trust me, your kid won't miss a thing. Best of all, there are many electives kids can choose from. From arts to choir, from band to yearbook and journalism. Why go private at New Ave school when you can save a bunch of money trying out a public middle school? From a lot of my friends that went to private schools they claim that private didn't teach them anything, but was just more enforced on the dress codes and rules. Not saying it's bad to go to private or anything but think of all the money you save!

I had never came here for education, so I don't know anything about that…read more But I do come here almost weekly during the weekend to ball kids up. There is this manhole on the fence that allows people to go into the school, so that's pretty cool. The lights near the benches never close, so we could just you know order some pizza or some shit and eat over there when its too dark or your friends are too fat to walk. They have cool automatic lights on the grass that turn on when you don't need em and when you actually do need em they turn off, so that's pretty cool. Uhh its a pretty big place so if you wanna play hide 'n go seek then you could get lost in this joint. But that's why its fun, cause when you can't find someone you just quit and sit at the benches so they could hide for dayz. There's also market carts that you can take inside the school and push your friends with. This place is so chill that one day we all assembled here to play basketball and ended up playing charades and no basketball at all, so the ball boy had to walk back home and never came back again. Overall, you could do anything you want here during the weekends so thats pretty cool. Just don't come around the bench area cause thats like our home turf so, if you don't wanna get blasted, you know what to do.

I've had a crazy busy day running errands while juggling a baby since drop off. When I came to pick up my kids the same place I dropped them off it was a little confusing since it's new. Apparently I was at the wrong location for pick up. I make my way around feeling a bit anxious now but I see one of my children and gave a little honk as I see her and her teacher walk away. The principal Linda, right away screamed out no honking you gotta get out. So I parked and I pulled my baby out, there I explained I came by to the same spot I dropped them off at and her response was "if you were here yesterday you would've known this is where pick up is because I explained it" in front of other parents. On top of being anxious, exhausted, and lost now I am completely embarrassed. Now my child has walked away from where I can no longer see or call for her as she walks towards the office. I got back in my car buckled my son back up and parked again now for the 3rd time and I got out once more to the other pick up area for my other child when I was told my younger one can walk to my older one and I can do one pick up instead of two by the office staff. I felt she could've explained and guided me instead of being rude and insulting me in front of other parents. As well as being more understanding since it is the first day of school after all. Not a great first impression.
