Terrible facilities, terrible administration, the school is litteraly a dump. Teachers dont care about the success of their students, only their standardized test scores. The music department isn't bad though.

What passes for "education" at Swanson Middle School is highly politicized and there is very little tolerance for viewpoint diversity.Like other district schools, there has been notably less rigor at Swanson in recent years (a trend that is likely to continue).

Excellent. We have seen teachers who are teaching as a part of their personal mission. We are so grateful for our kids to be able to benefit from adults who are dedicated to doing good for young people.
