I go to this school now because I transferred from Margarita Middle School which a school I do not recommend if you want your kid safe, and I love it so much!!!!!!!

i just moved here and this school is really cool! the kids treated me very kindly and make me feel welcome. there is always that one group of kids that can be rude, but its okay. the staff here is nice and the principal always greets us when we walk through the gates :)the reason why the review is kinda low is because of the homework and one of the teachers. im not going to say a name, but he did not deal with bullying very well. there was also these kids that cursed at me just for bumping into them on accident?

My student was miserable at this school we stuck it out for 3 years but please think about sending your student someone else especially if they are a minority. I have other children and will request a transfer to avoid going to this school again

I love James L. Day middle school. We just moved here beginning of this year during end of last semester. My son was so nervous. The staff and the students made his transition very positive. They have a group of kids they make sure to talk & check up on the new kids. My son was never alone even on his first day. I appreciate them so much for making sure my son never felt alone. The teachers were easy to communicate with and my son is thriving with his grades. Thank you so much to all the staff and students who made our experience amazing. I wish the high schools did the same.

This school is awesome. Some of the kids do swear a lot, especially the 8th graders. All my teachers are awesome. Mrs. Halic, Mrs. Sykes, Mr. Juhl, Mrs. Davidson, Mrs. Prevo, and Ms. McNeill.

Overall, it is not a terrible school as it does have potential. There are teachers who care about their students, but there is room for improvement when it comes to leadership at this school. I do not believe the principal has the slightest clue on how to effectively communicate and inspire change. A school can only be as good as its leader...too bad.

School with tremendous potential but poorly led and not committed to addressing bullying issues

Wonderful school environment. Our son is happy to go to school and loves the atmosphere the school offers. I love the teachers. All have been so responsive to our emails and you can tell they care for our children and their learnings.

My School is James L. Day Middle School in Temecula, CA. DMS has the best Principle and Staff. They really are there for the students and parents. They have one of the best coral programs anywhere. The some of the teachers have been there since the school openned they dont want to teach anywhere else. I'm proud to be member of the DMS family.
