Frank Tejeda Middle School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2009-08-19 “I went here last year for 8th grade. My teachers were very nice and really helped me get ready for TAKS. I passed all of them. I like the school but sometimes the kids can be so cruel to each other based on who they hang out with and what they wear and if they are in athletics or not. And most of the kids text in class. My friend was being bullied but the counselor gave the bully no punishment and that made me very mad. Other than those few things the school can go above the standards of regular schools and the orchestra and choir do very well in regionals and in dallas.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-08-04 “My family and I recently moved to San Antonio through the military. My 8th grader did not know anyone at the school and was fearful, however the guidance counselors helped her transition go smoothly. They placed her in the nurses' office to assist children one on one which allowed her to meet students. Tejeda's administration was also very accomondating and loving when my daughter had difficulties in one of her classes. The staff is always loving toward the children and consequently many children return once they graduate to see the teachers and staff. The school does focus on TAKS test, but more importantly they care about the needs of the children and their families. We love Tejeda and I have another child attending next year. Go T-Wolves” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2009-07-30 “I am an eight grader at Tejeda. The academics here are fantastic! We have great extra-curricular activities. Our athletic program is not good! I am also very disappointed with the way students treat each other. I know we can do better. Go T-Wolves!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2009-04-15 “Being a student in the 7th grade at middle school is amazing. All of my teachers are wonderful and help me with my weaknesses as well as aiding me with new interests.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2009-02-25 “I am a parent of a student currently attending Tejeda. I am a bit disappointed with teacher inaccessibility. Unless your student is having moderate difficulties or disrupting their classes, the teachers are not timely about answering your concerns, either by email or phone. There is no standard following of approved text books or TEA guidelines; handouts are used mostly to educate the kids. There is little follow up on the handouts in the class. Focus of education is strictly on TAKS material. I find that the discipline this year for mild infractions, severe at times. If I had money and time, I would move to a smaller school district or homeschool.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2009-01-24 “I am a 6th grade student at Tejeda. and i love it here the teachers and princables here are great!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-01-16 “Tejeda is a great school! There is great teachers, students, and alot of extra cirricular items; like their basketball team is great and that their PTA is really successful. Tejeda is great” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-09-20 “the principal is the best and has the greatest band, orchestra, and choir program in texas!” Posted By: student Quality Score: decline 2008-09-18 “Im an 8th grader at tejeda & this school is the best. Ive had so much fun and also my grades have improved since i came. The teachers are a great help and the students are so nice. I am in sports and the coaches are the best they lead you through everything and help you out. Tejeda is the best school ever!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-01-08 “I am a student that is attending Tejeda Middle school right now also, and I am in 8th grade. Thoughout all my years as a student here (since 6th grade) I have enjoyed every moment of it. The academics leadership is awesome and we have wonderful programs. To my opinion, as long as your child is in some sort of club of program, they will have a great time. I am recently in the Tejeda band. We have sooo much fun and our band director, Mr. Rosenberg makes it even more special. It's teachers like him that make the school what it is: Fantastic. Even though this is my last year at Tejeda, I will remember how each teacher I had made me the great student I am now. THIS SCHOOL IS THE BEST! (& if there were 10 stars I would give it to them).” Posted By: parent Quality Score: decline 2008-01-03 “My son has attended Tejeda since the 6th grade (now in 8th). The teachers are good; however, the principals the school has gone through since he has been a student have been very poor, especially the current one John Mehlbrech. The athletic program is not very good. All the other programs at Tejeda seem to be in good working order. The school is clean and a good portion of the teachers really care, the others... not so much.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-07-08 “I'm a student here so I can give you accurate results. The teachers are awesome and I really liked it. Band is a solid program and the gym classes are rigorous but good. I have almost no criticism and it would only be about my reading teacher. The drama teacher is also offering debate for the 06/07 school year. Personally, I don't like the organization of the cafeteria because the lines are always long. The UIL team was awesome this past year, taking Districts by more than 2x the second place team and 33rd in States. There is no after school band practice program and no late bus either. Young Historians really outdid themselves with an absolutely outstanding History Faire. There are also many sports programs like golf and tennis that are separated by grade and gender.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2005-12-27 “Excellent school, very clean and academically good. The new Principal, Ms White could use a little lesson in respect. She is very mean. (Kind of reminds you of the nuns from the old catholic school days)She is very disrespectful towards some kids and parents. (I went to meet with her about a school function and she told me she had no time to talk to me about such nonsense)” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-11-15 “Tejeda is an excellent middle school. I had two daughters (one in 7th and one in 8th) that attended there until last month when we were relocated out of the state. The students are friendly, the teachers are truly caring and it is a fun learning environment for the kids. The activities offered for the students was very good and school spirit is very high. The kids take a tremendous pride in their school. We sure do miss Tejeda....keep up the good work!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-09 “My two daughters absolutely love this school. Mrs. Turnbo, the former principal, has a wonderful way with the kids. She knows how to relate to them in a way that they understand and respect. There seems to be a really good balance between academics and extracurricular activities. The orchestra program there is phenomenal..way to go Mrs. Williams! Thank you Tejeda for a wonderful middle school experience.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2004-11-18 “Frank Tejeda is a wonderful school with great staff.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 1 2004-07-04 “The PTA program is not very bright here at Tejeda. Jan Johnson and her two obnoxios twins are rude and very ilmannerd.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-04-13 “This is a wonderful middle school - the administration, faculty are tremendous - very pro kids and very strong on academics. The PTA is excellent and has a great group for involvement. Discipline is handled professionally and fairly - the environment is for safety and learning mixed with alot of fun!” Posted By: Quality Score: 5 2003-06-16 “As far as my child is concerned, Tejeda is a great school. However, he is one of the very bright children who is also vocal and, surprisingly, not afraid (to a point) to speak up to and stand up to those who bully and ridicule him. I'm afraid that, at some point, he will be physically injured by those he stands up to. I understand that bullying is a growing problem in U.S. schools, and I think it is one that needs to be addressed on a more serious level. (I know that there is another middle school in the area that has serious problems with bullying and harrassment.) I understand that there are organizations that can be started at schools to help fight the problem of bullying, and I would like to see one started at Tejeda. It is a problem that the administrators at Tejeda try to address and minimize (there is a no-tolerance policy), but they can only handle what they are made aware of and there is a limit to how many eyes can be at one place at one time to see what's happening. It is a growing problem (epidemic?!)that needs to be addressed nationwide--not only by the schools but by the parents of those who are bullied, as well as those who have a bully for a child.”
