GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The health and safety at the school is pretty okay. The school nurse, while legally limited in what they can do for a kid (they can't even give out cough drops. But they do give out lemon candies instead to help with sore throats and crackers for upset stomachs) does what they can. The safety has never been a problem, so they have never had sweeps for drugs or contraband.

It definitely isn't the greatest school in the world. The lunches are for the most part tasteless, and don't have options for unique diets. They used to have a salad bar, which was great, but for some reason it was pulled out, and now students are forced to take a fruit or vegetable side, except Tempe side is usually under or over ripe. Because of this students who can't afford to bring a home lunch are forced to eat bland over ripe food.

The kids call it "Torturelita" for good reasons, the school is surrounded by bars providing a homely prison envi...

Tortolita Middle School is a huge jump of professionalism, friendliness, understanding the kids, and parent -staff communication from the Vail School District where we just transferred from. The principals are more than willing to work with the parents for kids that are doing great to the kids that...
