TERRIBLE!!!! My Son goes here and this school is not a very good school. Teachers have there favorite students. You have no support for stuff they cover things up and blame parents for their mistakes. This school can not handle special needs children very well. They are not educated on how to deal with children who have mental problems, instead they try and push them off to the Behavior Program or school causinh the student more emotional stres. Avoid this school.

TERRIBLE!!!! My Son goes here and this school is not a very good school. Each time I walk into the school for something there are children cursing outside, staff bulling my kids, teachers have there favorite students, they cover things up and blame it on the student that has problems. This school cant handle special needs children very well. They are not educated on how to deal with children who have mental problems as in ADHD and BIPOLAR. Instead they try and push them off to the Behavior Program that could potentially cause the student more emotional stress and potentially make them worse. The Staff Bullies children there as well making them feel as if they are not wanted or needed. That they don't belong because they have the problems they have. I will be taking my issues to the next level of education with the school board and superintendent.

As a parent, this school is horrible. Unless you like micromanaging principals and School staff to follow through I suggest you go elsewhere.

I am in hi-cap classes and in advanced math. I feel that the teachers are great at teaching and getting you ready for the next grade. The only reason i think the others feel that Juarez goes to fast is that there is so many standards that have to be met for every district that most of the kids fall behind. Besides being a great school based on its teachers and staff, i absolutely hate the amount of cursing i hear every day, and its not just the 8th graders but new 6th graders that are coming from the elementary schools that are acting like they rule the school. In Conclusion for that little note there: The teachers and staff need to indorse a better no cursing rule. Its in the rule book but when they hear cursing they don't do any thing about them.all in all this is a great school and i recommend it for any kid who is looking for some fast knowledge. -Hannah (student)

i love this school.i am a student at cedarcrest middle school.when i started poy in 6th grade i had a hard year most of the students were very rude.the math teachers were nice and did their best to help to help the students i feelt that Mrs Juarez moved way too fast and that mr.bickford take time to explain everything and help which most of the time he did not answer with questions. In 7th grade the teacher were more helpful expect foe a handful of them.

I have a Son in 7th grade there currently and so far so good. I do feel that the Teachers don't really reach out to the parents from what I see so far. The exception is Mrs Juarez (6th grade math). She sends out weekly emails of what is coming up and what the kids are doing. She let us parents now when extra help was available. If a child didn't succeed in her class it was NOT her fault, she did her best. The other Teachers so far don't reach out to us but do respond if I contact them. My Son is a part of a Triangle between Him, Teachers and his parents. We hold him accountable for his work and keep an I on Skyward, his Teachers teach him the best they can and he asks questions if he has problems. If we notice his grades dropping a little we ask him questions and talk to the teacher if a little help is needed. So far the triangle has worked and the teachers have really held up there side as well. I always let him know that in order for it all to work he has to apply his best effort and then everything will fall into place. EFFORT is the most important, not the overall grade
