Sierramont Middle School

I would not recommend this school if your child is on the autism spectrum. My son has spent the last 3 years at Sierramont and has been continuously told to be an advocate for himself. Regardless of his autism or his IEP he’s been thrown into a box. There is a large disconnect on what the staff is educated on when it comes to children suffering with special needs. My son is high-​functioning and has been bullied, misunderstood, and hasn’t had consistent advocates. I will not say that there aren’t a small few that have been there for my child and I applaud there efforts, but the politics have outweighed the support my child has needed. I can only conclude that the principal doesn’t document incidents so that he can withhold the ongoing bullying that is a big issue for this campus. I feel that it is my obligation to help other parents from experiencing the battle that I have the last three years. I am the only voice my child has and it has been unheard with the upper staff at Sierramont. To have your child be misunderstood for being different, is only made worse when he/​she comes home physically hurt and then told to be an advocate for there self when they clearly are unable to. This has been my experience at Sierramont.

Former Student, Class of 2010
The reason I rated this School 5 out a 5, is because of one special, lovable Math teacher who passed away 2 years ago. Yes, it’s Mr. Benjamin Athanasius Ingalla Estrella. The truth? He cares about everyone, and treated me like I am his son (truth is my mother wanted him to be my guardian) and now, I rarely visit.
Friendly teachers there, and some new ones, because I went to visit a teacher, Miss Cremer, who is currently teaching there. And noticed that everything has changed after I left Sierramont after Graduating class of 2010.
Anyways, no violence, peaceful, and friends that cares one another.

This review is strictly for the years 2000 – 2003. While the school had its fair share of good teachers (Mrs. Logan, Mr. Gardener, Mr. Stanley), its bad teachers along with the administration overshadowed any positive efforts.
Ken Toledo, the computer teacher was a huge pervert! There are countless stories of how he would drop pencils near girls and have them bend down to get him. I don’t know whether he still teaching or not (hopefully he’s in jail getting the child molester treatment) but that kind of behavior is not acceptable for a middle school teacher. Scott McCullough, the math teacher, was one of the most incompetent people I’ve ever crossed (other than Christine Hadley). I currently work in the financial industry where there is math involved, and that man gave me the only D I’ve ever received. Wherever you are Scott, I hope its not in a classroom. Don’t even get me started on Paul Kent, the music teacher who was fired only after he wasted the years budget on electric guitars that were never utilized, not to mention he was an obvious heroine user with all the scars on his arms that he claimed were from a car crash.

Graduated class of 2010 so I guess this is pretty recent.
After my 6^th grade year, almost everything went downhill from whatever state it was supposedly already in. The food had been decent, something like pizzas and ice cream and all that other generic school lunch food, but now it’s just a bunch of sweaty ladies slaving away to the hungers of short middle-​schoolers.
it’s terrible. Along with the dress code and gradual shrinking height of the students, the principal has now changed (again…) and things are now going for the worse. There are also now only 2 semesters.
Decent when I came… but now? Naw, go for Morrill.

Hey this school is newly remodeled. Well i can’t say that much about the teachers. ALL of them left. Seriously the best teacher there i would have to say would be Dan Suarez. A shout out to him of course. Hella sick teacher. Fun Fun Fun. Watched like the entire Star Wars trilogy. He teaches with such style can’t help but remember his class.
Well anyways, this school ain’t that good. Like i remember how there is a million seagulls that hang around the P.E. area and like its disgusting. They poop all over and you can most def see like a painting.
Its like abstract art yo. So many white spots all over! LOL haha just a joke.
But seriously their lunch sucked when i went there. Class of 06
I heard now that the lunch is even worse. I feel sorry for them.
Bag a lunch YO!

I miss this school. Had alot of good times here and wish i could come back. I was such a beast here. I dont really talk to the teachers anymore but some of them still know me. My sister goes there now. I was here through the construction times so it was a while back ago. I still visit this place alot. The school got a paintjob which isnt that bad. Now, there are new teachers so hopefully its still a good school.
