Gregory Luna Middle School 200 North Grosenbacher Road, San Antonio, TX 78253

"I recently moved to this school during the 2016-2017 school year and I would rather go back to my old school or to a different school, but I bet this isn't the worst school in S.A. First: the food is terrible and bland. If you just want your child to be fed then that's not a problem. Also this isn't just an exxgerayed comment when I first moved here because I wasn't used to horrible food I'm almost threw up eating at the school. I know there's guidelines to followed and budgets, but my last school had better food and it costed the same. Second: the teachers are really great and actually want to help kids if they want it. The teachers really try to connect with kids and form some type of bond with them. The staff are also ok but I haven't been around them much so I couldn't tell you much. Third: There is a bullying problem here. Yes, some kids don't tell but that's because they told staff beforehand and it didn't stop. They also don't tell in fear of being targeted even more. The students in general give you an inside to the real world. You have mean kids, nice ones, and ok ones. Also, there is a lot of cursing from students in the halls during passing periods. Sometimes it's between friends, but then there is always the person who does it for no reason. There a lot of two faced kids too. At this school choose your friends wisely. Fourth: there are a lot of cool programs and sports to get involved with. It just depends on if you want to join or not."

"Although many of the teachers are outstanding, the administration is atrocious. They will ignore your attempts to contact them until you finally loose your temper with them and start contacting people at the district, media, or sheriff's department. I have requested numerous meetings with the principal, but have yet to see whoever that is. The principal has zero time to meet with parents. Again, most teachers are excellent here, but do not expect the administration to be anything other than unresponsive."

"This school hasn't been too bad. There are lots of clubs and athletic teams to join, so the students have plenty of opportunities to find what they enjoy. The kids that go here are mostly really nice, although there are reports of bullying. The teachers and staff really care about the students, and it shows. I'd say that you should pay attention to your child's behaviors, though, because they could be getting teased without you noticing."

"Bullying is a major issue at this school and the only person who seems to care is Mr. Fuege, one of the VPs. My daughter was called awful names and then, after it was reported and the children were scolded, the teacher put them in the same group together for the rest of the year. My daughter went to the counselor to be moved into another class. I finally stepped in (I try to let my kids handle things themselves whenever possible) and demanded she be removed from this class immediately after the teacher started yelling at the class and calling them names. The building is nice and up-to-date, and many of the teachers are great. Unfortunately, the bullying is out of control and needs to be stopped. All teachers, staff and faculty need to be on the same page when it come to bullying. There should be a one strike policy. You bully and you get in school suspension. If it happens again, you're sent to alternative school. The problem is, nothing is really being done about it on this level, so when they get to high school, it gets even worse. (Which is where we're at with my older daughter.) Luna needs a serious overhaul otherwise you're going to see them in the news again."

"I love the school and the staff there. The programs within the school are of good quality as well. However, I must say that in my own experience, the school administration is ill equipped to handle bullying and react to reported incidents in a nonchalant and dismissive way. No wonder there are numerous reports about bullying occurring at the school with no intervention. To clarify the statements that many have posted, the actions that are taken are weak, and instead of interventions that serve the correct the behavior of the bully, they result in ostracism for the child being bullied. THE ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION & STAFF NEED TO COMPLETE A SUMMER TRAINING ON HOW TO HANDLE BULLIES!!!!"
