A P Giannini Middle School

Its my middle school and it defintely gotten better

Best middle school in San Francisco (: Trust me, this is the best middle school here! It’s my last year there I’m going to miss everything here! I like all of the teachers, even the mean ones because although they are strict, you end up learning from them and it keeps it balanced! Don’t give this school a bad rating only because one person made it a living hell there. The counselors are great, and they will always be there for you! The teachers are super talented, and the clubs they have are many! This is the main middle school that has their students go to LOWELL HIGH SCHOOL. So don’t put your kid into another middle school, is is the best one around,

Favorite middle school! Class of 2003

I didn’t go to school here but I had a 6 hour training for work held at the library.
Transportation to the location is eh but they have wonderfully clean bathrooms for a public school hence the 4 stars.

My son attends this school and it seems to be one of the better in the city. I would recommend your child going here.

I spent my entire middle school career here. I’ve made friends with people that I’m still friends with today. There aren’t many, but the best few I’ve got.
My last visit was (with 2 of my middle school friends) during one of my first years of college. There was one teacher that remembered me, Mr. McHugh, my English teacher for 7^th and 8^th grade. After I said my name, he remembered what I wrote in my book reports. I guess I was passionate back then about what I wrote, or didn’t have any other books to write about.
There were good teachers and bad teachers. Enjoyable classes and ehh classes. You’ll remember the experience you had in middle school, good or bad, it is still with you.
I remember having Activity Day, I wonder if they still have that. That was my favorite school day of the year.

it’s full of emo people. i didn’t fit in. i was too much of a happy person.
ms clayman is bias as hell. she treated my friends and i unfairly. when one of my classmates used profanity (f-​word) in her classroom, she gave him a referal. when this conceited guy who tries to show off used profanity (it was the same exact words my friend said), she simply said «hey, that’s not nice.»
she scheduled a parent conference for me just cause i was supposedly «not paying attention in class» when she just kept on asking me all the questions she knew nobody in the class could answer. so tell me, why was it always me that was answering the unanswerable questions? it wasn’t only me that couldn’t answer it, it was EVERYBODY. she would ask stupid questions like «why is light so important for life» when it was sixth grade and she was teaching EARTH SCIENCE. mind you, it wasn’t life science.

It was alright. Nothing too special. But Mr. Snyders was KICK ASS! And so was Mr. Mchugh (one of the other best teachers in the world)! Ok. so it might be better funded than Roosevelt and «newer» overall, but I’m still reppin Roosevelt! lol. Alright I’ll boost the damn 3 stars to the 4 stars for Mr. Mchugh cause hes THAT GREAT!

I didn’t have that much of fond memories with the exception of a few teachers. (That would make it a 3.5 star…) The two that stands out are:
Melvin Levy — who taught woodshop for a LOOOOG time. I sucked at woodshop and my grades sucked too, but he was still the nicest teacher I’ve ever had. I was quite happy when after he retired from teaching, he came back to visit the school… specifically to visit the teachers but also to visit me!
Robert Landis (to which the auditorium is named after in 2003 around the timing of his death to cancer :’() He was definitely fits the Mr Holland’s persona to a T. A lot of the kids didn’t like him. I thought he was wonderful! He gave me a chance to do my first solo on the piano… and I’ve never knew that I can actually sing ’til he recruited me into the chorus. I’m not a musician by trade, but I wished I had a chance to tell him that thanks to him, I now have my BA in Music at San Francisco State University in 1991 (not as a voice major though…)
And how KEWL to have Polly Ann’s nearby for their very cheap but satisfying frosty cones! :)

Eigth Grade Rocked Here!
The only year I went here.
I had fun here — and I think I learned something.
Rest In Peace Bonnie! She was the best teacher.
