Cesar Chavez Middle is an okay school. This school may not be the best school of the country, but all students and staff try their very best to do so and make it one of the best schools in the city.

This school is an okay school because, it has just been remodeled, but also there is still bad kids that go to that school. Those bad kids are mostly in gangs at the school. Also I felt unsafe when the gates of the cross country were unsafe because they were open and anyone could come up to our school, but each day that I was there they tried to improve it each day as soon as they found out that they needed to fix it to make the student body safe as possible.
