Vandenberg Middle School

Leadership often jump to conclusions and punish inappropriately.

This school has an assistant principle, principle, and some teachers that struggle to appreciate students. It lacks teaching methods that are creative. The role-modeling of the principle and assistant principle is based on an assumption that students cannot be trusted to act well and so administrator imply to all students that they are not trustworthy. Teaching methods are lacking in terms of engaging students in open dialogue and thought provoking activities. The adults in charge seem more interested in controlling students though punishment verses teaching students to learn and explore. There are minimal school spirit activities led by teachers or students to enjoy or look forward to.

This school is excellent! The teachers there are supportive and will always help you when needed. The staff is friendly and not too strict. If you are a patient student, it takes about 3-8 minutes to get your lunch from the cafeteria. This school is better than LVMS (Lompoc Valley Middle School).

Eh, the schools okay I guess. Most of the teachers are nice and helpful but the buses are really crowded. You have to sit three kids to a seat. There can be some really annoying kids but I wouldn't really consider them bullies. The lunch line is a little long but that's only if you get there late. I guess I'd rather be here than LVMS.
