It’s an ok school if you want weird teachers and teachers who get really political at random moments overall it’s ok bu there are a lot of kids there who vape and do drugs also although fights don’t occur often there is lots of arguing there and so many people there are always cussing and using strong language there I couldn’t even make it past the 6th graders without hearing the “f” word.

Alder is a school that students want to attend and where teachers want teach. I personally think Alder is the best in the district and am excited to continue my career here. I am proud of the administration, the staff, and students. I am proud to be Falcon.

My school is amazing. Alder is trying new things this year to help our kids want to come to school, and love being there. We have rally's, fun spirit days, dances, lunchtime activities, a visit from a boy band, and we are helping to make the dreams of some kids...come true.

This School is great i went here a few years ago,teachers and the principals do a great job at enforcing rules and making sure students succeed.When i went there the school was bombing the CST's and just about every other test they gave us.Most Students there are good and great to know except a selected few and that would be a lack or parent discipline.

I live near this middle school and the children that attend that I have come into contact with seem to all be less than savory characters. Granted, I have only come into contact with the kids that go there that walk home after school down Alder Ave on the east side of the street. My house is on the corner and those kids are always causing trouble. Last year they would continuosly break the sprinklers in our front yard until we had to contact the school police officer about it. More recently, however, a puppy went missing from our backyard. We strongly suspect it was one or more of the kids walking home from school since they like to congregate on the side of our house, where the gate to our backyard is. The puppy was small enough to be lifted out between the upper bars of the gate, which have a wider gap than the bars at the bottom. Our neighbor from across Alder said that on the day the puppy went missing, she saw some kids from this school jump the fence between our house and the neighbor's. Coincidentally, if anyone has seen a small white terrier puppy with a curly tail and tan marks that suddenly appeared around 1/28/13, that would be him.
