Atascadero Middle School

Fantastic school community. We love that our son has teacher teams in 6th grade. They are awesome! The academics are quite good and the after school activities are varied and fun. One of the best aspects is the school/home communication -- top notch. I was apprehensive, initially, to send my son here, because lets face it...middle school is a crazy age. But after six months I can honestly say it is great here. Facilities are the best around; the counselor and administration are visible and helpful. Great school.

Love it here because teachers care about finding new ways to help students learn. They facilitate and aren't afraid to try new things. Very innovative.

I have a student with a pretty extensive IEP and academic and behavioral accommodations. Last year was our first year in Atascadero and I was a bit concerned about making a switch in 7th grade. We have NEVER had a better experience!!! The staff are amazing. Teachers have been so kind and willing to help him achieve his very best. The administration are phenomenal as well. They have made this such a great experience for us both. I also have to say that the student body is also pretty special. It hasn't been without typical ups and downs of junior high but making friends has been so easy and generally the students are very respectful of each other.

Love It. Give it 5+ Stars. Atascadero Junior High is dedicated to helping all students and making sure all students feel safe, secure, and included. Mr. Martin is the best teacher EVER; really changed things around for my child. The new Saint's Block program gives students a needed break to do something fun OR to receive extra help every day. The parent program is run well. I was able to offer to help and get involved very easily. The school's electronic newsletter keeps me informed. The Aeries system for grading keeps me up to date.
