Del Dios Middle School

I would absolutely not EVER subject a child of mine to this school environment of atrociously behaved students and administrators who do NOTHING to make the situation any better.

Horrible school they have a high turn over for the principal and it is easy to see why. My son has a learning disability which qualifies him for resources. The resource staff seems to care but the rest do not. He has been physically and mentally bullied and the principal Mr. Ngo does not seem to care or take it seriously. I have had to keep my son out of school because he was having panic attacks and truly terrified he was going to be hurt. Students told him to kill himself, hurled racial slurs and physically assaulted him and the staff did nothing because they couldn't confirm on video that something happened even though I have medical documentation from his doctor of the physical injuries. There is extremely limited supervision at nutrition and lunch. The student to teacher ratio may look great on paper but it means nothing if they kids are not being watched. I am relieved the school year is almost over and can guarantee we will not be at this school another year.

Del Dios has made an incredible turnaround due to Exemplary leadership displayed by Mrs. Adkins and by the excitement displayed by the teachers to her leadership. The students are respectful to adults. The kids are excited to learn, which makes the whole environment electric. Way to go Del Dios!

My son came from a different junior high in Escondido to Del Dios junior high and I have been so impressed with. Del. Dios. The principal Mrs. Adkins is doing a great job she has a lot of great teachers working with her.
