Neighborhoods and Homes nearTwentynine Palms Junior High School

I found that it was almost imposible to get in contact with a teacher. Students answer the phones in the office and many of my messages were either misplaced or lost.

All schools have issues, but TPJHS is always looking for ways to improve the school. Students are encouraged to attend after school tutoring, clubs and activities. There are many opportunities for student leadership. Discipline is tough, but needed.

My son attended this school last year and I was so disappointed. We had issues with a particular teacher and was basically given the brush off and the old it will get better.

Their web site is thee best! The principal and many teachers update their personal websites weekly. Grades, attendance, transcripts, class schedule, and contact information are updated daily. In spite of the drastic cuts to education, this school still offers programs that peek student interest.

Even through the budget cuts, our school has struggled to find ways to keep programs alive that encourage our children to be better students. Resources and teachers here have been cut just like everywhere else, but in this small town there are no other educational options for our children.
