Fletcher Middle School

The comment by Patricia V. is basically the same for all 3 schools. I find that amusing.

Terman is a good school. I mean that from deep down inside. It's not great, but not bad either. It's the newest out of all the schools, and has generally nice staff. Their students are known to not become bullies. They have a good balance in academic and sports. If you are looking for a tight community school, you've chosen the right one! The school itself does have some downsides. The lockers are outdoors.. preventing from any assurance that your belongings will still be there the next day. Most of their class rooms are separated, and a considerably small field [comparing to the other schools], which was my worry for fire escapes. Their race balance is very nice, although like JLS Asians are slightly more common... That isn't a problem in the teachers though. They are mostly American.

Overall .... a nice school. :]

Terman is one of three excellent middle schools in the Palo Alto Unified School District. Terman is the smallest of the three middle schools and was reopened in 1999. Soon a new upgraded computer lab and library will be added as part of its modernization program.
