Tetzlaff (Martin B.) Middle School

I go to Tetzlaff and personally I feel like they are handling online school the best that they can. The teachers are usually understanding when it comes to personal situations that come in the way of school. I’ve had two brothers go here as well, overall their experience with Tetzlaff was good. However, teachers were most of their problems. Some schoolwork and homework is too stressful. I think teachers should try harder to explain more.

What a wonderful school. I have two kids that attend Tetzlaff and they love it. The kids are friendly and well behaved. I think this is due to the awesome principal, who is amazing, as is the staff (best secretaries-always friendly, never rude.) and caring teachers. All this and a great Principal makes a difference and sets the tone for a fine school. It's no wonder why Tetzlaff has so many accolades, especially the most current received this year - "Schools to Watch" award. A big honor and well deserved. Thank you Tetzlaff for being the best.

I'm a parent who has two 7th graders that attend Tetzlaff. The Principal has done a complete 180 with this school and there has been major improvements across the board. I am very impressed with the communication between the teachers & parents. Anytime I emailed a teacher, I got a response within a few hours. Teachers are willing to tutor the students during their lunch time and after school. They want the students to succeed just as much as us parents do. One of my children is in band. The band teacher is an amazing music instructor. He goes out of his way to make sure his students have the highest level of learning. He goes above his teaching realm by scheduling his band to do various performances so his students can experience how music is outside of school. If you have a child who plays an instrument, dances, or sings, Tetzlaff has the best music department! Tetzlaff won the Schools To Watch award because their growth of improvement is escalating rapidly. They are a Distinguished School, A Blue Ribbon School, and won the Golden Bell Award. Tetzlaff is the only National Demonstration school for SpringBoard in California, which is a college & career readiness program.

This school has tremendously improved. It has reached to the top 400 schools in the world and one of the best model schools. It also has the most electives in the district. I would recommend this school. It also has nice teachers and they care about your grades. It's also not hard to make friends here. Friends here treat you as a family, or brother or sister.
