The school's just bad. It's underfunded and doesn't have enough creative outlets. Art is basically non-existent, they have 1 band class and that's that for the Art's. The teachers are fine but they can't make the children any better. The kids here don't want to learn. You can tell through other reviews students can't write a proper sentence. Their grammar isn't at grade level and that's the normal for this school. I've been in this district since 2nd grade and it doesn't get better. If you go here good luck. If you're thinking about going here, don't.

I have been to Tomlinson Middle School. Ms. Kajoian is the principal and she is really trying to turn the school around. The school offers core class and honors classes and has an engineering class named Project Lead the Way. It has Positive Behavior program that rewards students for their responsible behavior and good choices. The only sad thing about this school is the immature students who play too much or make learning difficult because they play in the classroom. These students don't listen to teachers and dont care about learning. Ms. Kajoian is trying to help these students make better choices but it doesnt always work. I liked this school because I had my friends there and I liked some of the teachers. One teacher worked with me after school to help me with my missed work when I was absent. Maybe the people who don't like the school are the ones who don't want to learn.

A little better than in recent years. There are still incompetent teachers whom bully children such as Mrs. Roberts. If you don't have a pencil or someone is picking on you she ignores what you say unless your a favorite of hers! She even sends you to detention for it and we miss lunch too. These teachers need to be held accountable for their actions, and held to a higher standard than such pettiness, such as: Teaching? and Appropriate behavior!

This school under past leadership was horrible!! The principal was let go for some very serious reasons. The teachers worked right along with this person to totally humiliate and speak to these children in demeaning ways unless he was in a decent mood. Boy, the trauma caused by this faulty is truly hurtful.

After reading the reviews from the students at this school, the school deserves a 1 rating. It seems as though the students do not know how to use grammar correctly, do not know how to spell, and do not know how to write complete sentences.
