Being told you look 'great' then hearing the increasingly loud sound of laughing from the person. Boys crying because they got another detention. That's truly the Benicia Middle School Experience. I personally as someone who's gone here for 3 years have seen and heard horrible things. To start off, the locker rooms and P.E in general. The boys will quite regularly be forced to leave the locker rooms because ONE person was talking and be made to run around outside, with or without their shoes on. Which is extremely dangerous as there's small shards, coils, metal, sharp rocks, the such, on the ground outside on the blacktop, ive found them myself. Students become extra rude and judgmental during P.E and teachers choose to do nothing about it. Last school year Mr.Sindel got fired for the crime of liking little girls. This year the P.E teacher Mr.Holden replaced another P.E teacher. It is believed by me and my fellow students that Mr.Holdens continued absence for MONTHS now is because he was fired due to the same reasons as Mr.Sindel. I myself cannot say for sure this is true but considering the girls at the high school he worked at previously knew him to be creepy and a child-liker it seems fairly likely. The school is full of homophobic and transphobic students, that the school has never done anything about besides say that's bad. Other than that the boys at the school are all rowdy and mostly extremely rude and the teachers do nothing to help them improve as people and become better. They make you pay for WATER bottles at lunch or you just have to drink milk. I get there are water fountains but that's just crazy. I have learned close to NOTHING at this school. The passive aggressive teachers and auditory learning and reading EVERY assignment thing doesnt work for me personally. The teachers are extremely rude. One specific student tried to choke my friend, and punches and kicks and makes fun of my other friend. They pride themselves on being a place of inclusion and kindness but its really unsafe and uncomfy. The school though isn't the WORST place on Earth. They have a rock climbing wall AND 2 good teachers!

Hands down- ACHS is an awesomely beautiful campus…read more.. I recall "open house," when the community was able to tour the school before classes began this past August, and I compared it to a college campus. It's equipped with EVERYTHING- including a culinary arts kitchen adjacent to the cafeteria, a huge theater and gym, beautiful sports fields and even community college classrooms in the main building. It's also a super "green" school, and apparently it's paving the way for future schools to be energy efficient as well... The problem with a bright, new school is, of course, working out the kinks. While it appears that most teachers came from schools in the neighboring vicinities for the most part, that could be both a gift and curse depending on the reputation of your child and you child's chance at a "fresh start". My husband would also say, the football team could use a more diverse staff (but the volunteering moms are AWESOME! GO WOLVES!!!). My above-average 9th grader is doing great because he's a good student and newspaper-worthy athlete, so he had a good reputation and good rapport with the middle school teachers that moved on to ACHS. It also helps that the school only has 10th and 1th graders to start, so the Freshman didn't get that underclassmen welcome from the seniors. My IEP student, 7th grader???? Now, 2012 will be interesting if the world doesn't end... I am dreading an inevitable battle with administration. AND, the school has "combined classrooms" with 2 teachers and more than 60 students. If you're an "A" student, this may not matter so much, but some kids will definitely get lost in the shuffle. : / So, all in all (as my 3rd grader would write) the school is absolutely beautiful and locally staffed with a "down home" feel tucked away in the Bay's shadow, but your child's experience will probably be unique to their needs, as with any school. TIPS: Always use the entrance on the opposite side of American Canyon Rd. because you can exit both directions. The light at American Canyon Rd. also gets REALLY crowded, so avoid it if possible. A new bus route was added specifically for students and the fare is 50 cents each ride. Oh, and GO WOLVES... and GIANTS!!
