Alvarado Middle School

My kid love the basket ball program there. He grown taller in the past half year because he join the team.

What can I say about this school? I went here from 6^th to 8^th grade and I can say that I definitely made some wonderful memories here. Met some amazing people that I am still friends with today after 10 years and I certainly learned a lot from the teachers here as well.
The location of this middle school is very close by to Union Landing and other plazas where there are places to buy groceries and eat. A good walking distance from the school. This school also has an outdoor track which is opened to everyone to run/​walk on but not during school hours. There are also basketball courts and four square.
The only disadvantage is that this school is right next to the train tracks so it can be a bit loud sometimes.
There are some wonderful teachers here who still actually teach here and some that don’t but needless to say this middle school is a great school in general. Really close by to the residents (walking distance) if you live around the area.
I come here every so often to run on the track whenever I am back at home in the bay: D

Rainy day for kids today…
These days a school is a school to be for kids. There is nothing wrong about this school and I must say that I empathize teachers who are determined to give knowledge to students. I can say for one teacher whom I see how he give so much of his time for his students. His name is Stephen Theall, a Math teacher, a couch and a counselor for students who are in need of Math learning homework.
I cannot say enough gratitude how he enlighten the day of my nephew. My nephew is one of among student who needs a good teacher with patience and ability to teach him and understand Math. Needless to say, when a kid goes to a public school its reputation of learning is difficult to comprehend. I can say for most public school, however would it be nice for kids to be thought with genuine passion? Yes of course!
There are few kids who has trouble understanding Math and are afraid to ask questions and felt rejected from not getting enough attention from the teacher. However ever since Mr. Theall came aboard to the school, I see HOPE/​good learning from my nephew’s eyes. So I salute you for the effort and dedication Mr. Theall, and as well as your patience with the kids. Hope God will give you enough strength to have answer for every kids curious questions and dreams.
Keep up the good work!
A school is a school — but if you put a genuine teacher to give knowledge to kids; to kids it’s consider a prestige school. :-)
