Well.. this school is okay really, yeah there may be some discrimination and bullying here and there but it usually gets handled by staff if they care much, my current teachers are good really it's just the students here, it can be fun at times I can and cannot recommend this school, it's mediocre

Well my son was stabbed in the hand by a student. My son decided to press charges and when Monday came they principal and an officer spoke to my child without me present to tell my son he was being extensive and in the end my son said he wouldn’t press charges. The principal cares more about politics then he does the different. Black students aren’t safe at that school. Mr. Willard is not a good principal at all

The students in this school are not going to be nicest to your kids if they're shy , socially inept, ect, And i know this by experience as i am a introverted student in this school. But at least it's not like the other schools where they have more violence and mess. The school campground is actually clean and has decent teachers, plus they even play music in lunch on fridays. so basically, this will probably be your best option to enroll your child/teen in.

Greetings, I am a student at Chula Vista Middle School and I wanted to say a few things about our school. Many people believe that this school is not a good school when it is actually the opposite. Our teachers here help us and educate us the right way. They sometimes stay after school voluntarily to make sure we are passing their class. The staff here is also great and very helpful. Also, the SCPA programs here at our school are very fun and instructive. Some of the SCPA programs we have is orchestra, band, choir, guitar, dance, drama, and more. The students here at Chula Vista Middle School are very kind, help one another, respectful, happy, and many other positive things can be said about us students. Additionaly, there are many clubs for us after school. For example some clubs are Club TC, Kids Eco Club, Robotics Club, CJSF (the honor society), and many more. To conclude, our school is very educational and fun. Thank you, A student from Chula Vista Middle School

Chula Vista Middle is a great school. A lot of people think that this school is bad. But this school has a lot of programs. For example they have dance, arts, mariachi, guitar and more other programs. Also if your children always in his room watching tv he can go to Club tc before and after school. In club tc you can go to the weight room which is like a small gym. Also your children can join a team. For example their is soccer, baseball and basketball. The school has a nice enviroment and the all teachers are nice and if you need help in any class you can stay after school or go to saturday school. This why your children should go to Chula Vista middle school.

Chula Vista Middle School is a great school for many reasons. As a student I know that one reason is that all teachers are very supporting and responsible towards their classes. Teachers provide tutoring and Saturday school for extra help on projects and homework. Also, the campus is clean and staff that guards, does care a lot about preventing pollution in school. The classes are fun and do provide information needed for Finals. Most people know CVM is known for their extracurricular activities, which is why others criticize their courses. Although many people talk very badly towards Chula Vista Middle School, students and staff knows it is a very good school towards the SCPA program and their main course classes.

Chula Vista Middle School is a great school. This school provides everything that you could need to get a great education. Not only does this school teach you your basic needs in school, but it also teaches you performing arts. There are plenty of new things to learn along with your basic necessities like learning guitar, art, dance etc. You also have the option of learning a new language like Spanish and French instead. You could also learn a language for zero period. The teachers here are also very caring and nice. They make sure that every student gets to learn what they need to. They even offer tutoring after school and Saturday School. The teachers here truly care about their students and will do anything to help their students get a better understanding of what they're learning. This school is also really big on kindness and bullying. They make sure that absolutely every student is safe and also feels safe here. Overall, Chula Vista Middle School doesn't get the credit that it deserves for being a great school.

This is the BEST school I have ever been to! Everybody is SOOO nice and friendly and if the parents are thinking about going to hilltop middle pick a better school like Chula Vista Middle School. I like when they play all my favorite songs on Friday during lunch. This school is SOO cool and they serve the best lunches! Plus the school is nice and clean. As a student the teachers always encourage us and try to make us do our best. This is the best school year. 2013-2014. Date: 4-16-14 Time 7:02 pm ^_^

Gangs, drugs, and disaster. If you can afford 300-450 a month, send your child to a private school. Some are outrageously priced...and in our times that is hard, but check out Pilgrim Lutheran in Chula Vista. They keep tuition low and offer assistance. Got my child out as soon as I could afford to.

The faculty seems to just want to push their students through to the next grade level, irregardless if they are ready or not. I am disappointed to say that I think some of these teachers lack in their communication to students' parents. I would not recommend this school to your children.
