Awesome school! Im a 7th grader. (NEW TO THIS SCHOOL) And I was so nervous to come here. But before the day it began my mom and me went to take a tour of the school. And the next day it was like I was there forever. I love it. TO any new students in the future dont be scared even of switching classes, making friends, or having more than one teacher. Its awesome better than Elem.! I was told this school was bad so many times but thats a lie! I totally recommend this school other than Emery park i used to go to a private school but this school is way better and even more better with the help it is getting from the mayor! You'll love it this school is awesome! Even P.E is awesome,and im a girl. So thats about it but youll love it! Trust me!

The administration of this school is out of touch with what is really going on. Their only concerns are with the CST and enrollment. They are too week to enforce even the dress code effective and the new notebook program is regarded as a joke. Teachers are unsupported by the administration or the district and classroom matterials, such as textbooks and desks are terrible.

Its a pretty nice school with an awesome magnet program. Been in the magnet for my 3 years. I've made many great memories with the magnet. Its a close-knit community. The school has a decent number of afterschool activies and has an above average security. A decent number of electives, just not enough for the magents. The dress code isn't all that bad but I'll be glad to be done with it after this year. The staff and teachers are pretty friendly and try their best to help. My only complains was how they changed the magnet program to 3 classes instead of the orginal 2 and the fact that after the pe teacher left they spread us. The campas is pretty clean. I'll be sad to leave this school.

El Sereno MS is a big and organized campus. The security staff are fair and most teachers are considerate of their students. It's an awesome school!

This school is the best school ever. Their teachers are very nice and their Magnet Program really helps the students raise their grade levels. They have pretty good safety rules. But I don't really like their dress code. They get you really prepared for the CST's and high school.

This school is awesome when it comes to discuss its attributes with teachers. The teachers at El Sereno Middle School are spectacular role models for every student, like myself, at El Sereno.I am currently in the 7th grade magnet.And are currently doing Mr.Wartan's vocabulary homework.The homework is somewhat between moderate and hard.Sometimes easy but not too easy, a little in the neutral zone of stress.I really think that El Sereno Middle School has high expectations when it comes to test taking.Like on my daily routine we are always preparing to take on the CST.The teachers somewhat nag you to try your best. ___________________________________________ Practice makes perfect, but nothing is perfect. o.o

This school needs help when it comes to dealing with racism and insensitivity. I am getting no real help with my child's situation. The teacher's and administrators are apathetic and don't try to solve problems properly.

Yeah I think the school is pretty cool. Academics are okay and stuff. The Magnet Program really helps out the students and help them raise grades. The teachers are really cool and really care about us, the students and they believe in us. It's a simple rule to abide by, Respect them they respect you. Most teachers are really sincere and that's what help me out in raising grades. Well I still got a long way to go one semester and a school year left to go!

I've been to this school for about 2 years, going on the third then sadly leaving. but its a great school! the teachers really care about the students, not just teaching but understanding them, like befriending your own teacher. of course, a lot of them went through teenage problems also, so they really understand since they've been around kids and know what they're going through like peer pressure, they care and try to help you. the students are cool also. not a lot of problems. hardly any.

I believe El Sereno is full of talent and potential. The students face many challenges and are amazing young people, full of strength and resiliance. Most parents are supportive when included in the positive aspects of the school. I enjoy working at El Sereno and look forward to seeing some of you around campus! Stay true to yourself.

Well. I don't see much protection is this school,or security.A bit,but not much. I don't consider it to be one of the best,it's normal I guess.
