Taft Middle School 620 Schulte Road Northwest, Albuquerque, NM 87107

"honestly i thought the school was great but i just thiught the teachers couldve tought me more but there is ginna be fights everywhere and im very suprised there wasnt as much fights when my sister was going"

"It sucked , most teachers were ok for the most part.but both coaches always asked weird questions and would stare at the girls a lot.and i played cello in orchestra and they would always place us in aqward places and seating whitch my parents couldnt get a good look at me . Also there was quiet a few fights that had no purpose. Ive had 3 referals and a suspention because of stupid things. Referals: 1. Play fighting that the teacher made look like we were killing each other 2. I forgot 3.threw a small peice of pencil at my friend in class which flew down and passed the teachers face and he lied and said it hit him. And i got suspended bc a kid came up from behind me on the bus and hit me in the back of the head and i got suspended andhe did too for the same amout i did. And the office didnt know how to deal with situations just sat us down and talked till ms.sanches came in and talked some more which she has more power than the actual principal. Over all the school suckes"

"horrible teachers, especially the gym teacher (Coach Maldanado), and Mrs.Garcia. Coach is always making fun of kids, especially the ones with bad grades, and puts them off as "jokes". Mrs.Garcia is always abusing her power along with Mrs.Ori. The kids that care for and love music that aren't in orchestra get put in some side music class, like piano or ukulele. I play guitar but is really interested in drums and would've loved to play because my family isn't rich enough to buy a drum set, considering they were barely able to buy me a guitar. And another this about orchestra is unless you were put in it in 6th grade, there was no chance of you getting in. my only request is to fire Coach and Mrs.Garcia. then i might give it a 2 star"

"crap teachers especially Mrs. Ori, teachers don't teach school is old and run down drugs are used on a day to day basis violence is a common occurrence computers are dated the office is no help overall just a bad school"

"We went here for an AYBL basketball game. The facility is old; restrooms are ok, clean. Its a middle school. Bleachers are old."
