I am a transferee from a different school, and my previous experiences led me to think that this place would be the same as my last experience. I was completely floored by how welcoming everyone was to me. The students are quite kind and helped me feel more accepted than I ever did in my past school. They always helped me with directions, the school system, and what lunches to avoid, haha. The teachers were also nice and understanding, explaining everything in depth and rewinding if someone does not explain something. The principal was great and worked to keep our environment one of safety and contentment. The councilor was helpful, allowing me to pick my electives and letting all students visit her to address any concerns they have. The grounds themselves were out-of-date, but they lent the atmosphere a kind of nostalgic feeling to it, like you're going to school in the 2000's. The education was easy to understand, and there was a lot of variety in culture, in my experience. They also educate us on how to deal with stress and depression, offering support if we ever need it. The school layout is somewhat hard to go through, especially on rainy days, since its usually based on the hallways, but when you walk through it for a while, you get to memorize its layout. The P.E curriculum is good, designed to get a good exercise and help burn some calories, and they also offer Weightlifting as a better alternative if you want a more challenging course. ASB is kind and supportive, and also run many events for the student body, such as dances, spirit weeks, and other themed activities. All in all, a very great experience here, and I would definitely recommend this school for your child(s)!

Three of my kids have recently gone to this school and they have had great experiences here. I as a parent have only good things to say about Alamitos.

I registered my grandaughter at Alamitos school on Friday 8-26-16 and I have to commend the way the staff handled all the student in line to pick up their school schedules. The school was very organized and made this a pleasant experience. All the staff went out of their way to help and Nancy did an exceptional job in making my grandaughter feel welcomed. Nancy took the time to help us register on line and showed me how to use the parent portal and with her help and the rest of the staff there to guide us through it my grandaughter is now excited rather than having a fear about going to school there. THUMBS UP ALAMITOS

This school was great, the Principle and Vice principle were very nice and tried to help students succeed and help them if they get bullied. The teachers teach very well and helps students if they don't understand something.. The music program here is very good and has a very nice teacher. This school is kinda old and most classroom don't have air conditioner. But overall, kids gets pretty good grades here and the teachers and staffs are very friendly.

I used to go to this school and I feel that this is probably the best jr high.Now I go to Orange View and it seem like the students get into more trouble I think the reason for this is because the students in Alamitos feel more free so they cause less trouble.But in Orange View they seem to cause a lot more trouble because they feel like the school is to closed in and feel less free to do things and that makes them believe that if they get into trouble the teachers wouldn't mind and will let them get out of it
