El Dorado Middle School

Unfortunately, health issues caused my daughter to be withdrawn from El Dorado for about 6 months, but afterwards when she was re-​enrolled, they continued to hold the same high standards and I’m simply impressed.

This is The Middle School that I went to. So many great memories and bad ones lol had my first crush, got bullied, learned I could run a mile lost a good friend just sitting here bring them all back.
My son has been attending El Dorado now fro 2 years and he loves it. I have known Mr. Humphry since he was at El Monte and he is a great principle his students always come first.
Thank you for that Mr. Humphery your a great man and touch so many lives keep up the good work.

I am still surprised I survived here. Luckily I had some really nice friends and we kept each other sane as the Future Gang Members of America ran their uniterrupted reign of terror. The inmates ran the prison, only the inmates were 12 year-​old hoodlums. Many of the teachers were oblivious (medicated? I would be if I taught junior high) to the all-​out warfare being conducted under their noses. I remember one particularl inept and hopeless administrator encouraging a kid to «talk things out» after he had just thrown a fellow student through a plate-​glass window.
Two stars for Nancy Johnson (RIP) and Mike Langley, rockstar teachers who probably turned around the lives of hundreds of kids for about $ 30k a year.
