Tierra Linda Middle School

Fantastic middle school, great principal, students, staff and teachers... no bullying, lots of respect, and phenomenal band teacher and music programs

Safe space, rather professional teachers, amazing music program, and the best principal )

No complaints typical wealthy area students, teachers and parents

I wanted to give this school zero stars and not because I think the school is terrible - but because it employs a teacher that has done irreparable damage to her students. In all my life experiences as a student, a teacher, and a parent of students, I have never met a teacher like this woman who has a negative effect on every student in her class. All my other children had great teachers at TL, but one of my children has had a terrible year because of this teacher. This 6th/7th grade math teacher in one of the school portables whose name I won't mention, is hated by almost every student and parent in her classroom. She is inconsistent, unfair, unkind, and should not be allowed to work with children. Her teaching and classroom skills are nonexistent and she has never been able to motivate any of her students to want to learn and do well in math. I know that there have been numerous complaints about this teacher by other parents. The school continues to employ her when she has done nothing but mental, emotional,and cognitive harm to her students. Why would a great school keep a teacher like that on staff?
