As a student who went to Judkins middle school, this is an amazing school! I really enjoyed my time at this school, and they always encouraged me. When I first got there it was the middle of the school year, and I was very nervous. But a counselor introduced me to a group of friends, and I fit in perfectly. At that school there is a little something for everyone. The teachers were super nice and all the other staff. I used to have to stay after school because my mom worked later and couldn't pick me up until about 3:30. When I stayed after school, the staff always talked to me and kept an eye on me to keep me safe. Throughout that time I became friends with a lot of the teachers and staff. The janitors were also a really awesome. I talked to Mr. Mike mostly but all of them were super nice and caring. I highly recommend this school!

People who have written bad reviews of this school would write the same reviews at any other school. Judkins is great—staff cares—and the students are learning.

Teachers don't know much about the subject there are maybe a few who have any sense what they are talking about . Bullying is a huge problem in this school and other stuff that I don't want to go into. Everyone experiences bullying in this school ask anyone that went here . Administration is horrible they liked to be rude to kids. Go somewhere else

The Administrators at Judkins are not pro-active in finding solution to bad behavior from students. One only needs to walk around the campus to see proof of the ineffectiveness of this school's leadership. There is trash EVERYWHERE from lunch time eating. No effort is made to make the student's clean up. Student restrooms are tagged with Oceano 13 gang graffiti. Behavior problems are treated with kid gloves and a slap on the wrist rather than real consequences. Send your child elsewhere for middle school, I know I wish I had.

Some of the teachers at Judkins are outstanding, but a few of them are extremly terrible and should be fired. If we had a choice our daughter would have gone elsewhere. Like all schools, Judkins preaches safety and a bully free environment, but we found the opposite to be the case.

All the teachers are perfect. I love judkins soo much. Its the best school ever. I can't wait for next year. I'm so sad and 2:10 pm on fridays because i have to go a whole weekend without the wonderful judkins. All the kids there ar so nice and the teachers are always giving 110% to help us out. The sports are really fun and i learn a lot a Judkins. I went to another school in the area but i hated that school so i changed schools and ever since i came to judkins i have been looking forward to learning and having fun. At lunch i get to eat with my friends and have a good time. Judkins is the best.

The principal at this school is terrible! My son went there for a year and and we pulled him out. There are so many kids dealing drugs right on the campus during lunch. It is nor a safe place at all. The principal should be fired!
