Renaissance Academy at Mathson

Renaissance at Mathson provided plenty of opportunities for field trips, advanced classes (head start for high school), and learning opportunities. Majority of the teachers I had experiences with were amazing, with an exception or two just like any school would.

Now the negatives… a lot of BS was never addressed properly; there was a decent amount of bullying, a handful of fights, and an occasional homeless person wandering through campus. I’d say this is overall one of the best college prep middle schools in San Jose though.

There is a very nice environment here and I have many friends with good grades and I like the teachers just not my math teacher

The school is okay I wish they had teachers that could teach the children for different classes but they have two teachers to teach him English math Arts it's not like the schools in Santa Clara Sunnyvale or Los Gatos where you have a different teacher for every class the school is poor they don't have a good field to run in there's holes in the grass my daughter Twisted her ankle running in the field they're Sports they don't have much to offer the children you think they would reward them with medals and ribbons some teachers did I put out my own money out of my own pocket and I volunteered to help the wrestling team I wanted the children to appreciate being a part of a team so I bought them trophies for their hard effort and work that they put on the wrestling mat and for caring themselves that good students when they work in the wrestling room I wish Matson would fund the school more so they can give to children more opportunities to play sports

The teachers are very nice here! My son learns a lot at this middle school.
