My son is on his second year here and overall the school is pretty good. The teachers are caring and do what they can to teach the ones that are willing to be taught. I feel that most of the parents aren't doing their part at home to properly prepare their children for school, especially in the discipline area. The teachers are there to educate our children..not to babysit. The lack of respect these students have for their teachers directly reflects on the parents.

This is our 2nd year at WMS. I've been hugely impressed by the leadership, faculty and staff. Their effort and dedication as left me amazed. I've always found the administration and teachers friendly, available, and willing to go the extra mile. There is an extraordinary lack of parent involvement; despite well publicized opportunities and the, apparently, numerous complaints. In my opinion, there are tremendous opportunities in extracurricular and after school activities as well; for those students and parents choosing to take advantage of them. The academics, again in my opinion, do suffer. I don't feel my son has been challenged in this area at all. The school, as well as individual teachers (and my own efforts at home, on occasion) have provided him with some excellent resources and experiences. The educational difficulties, and the discipline issues, seem due to the size and diversity of the school's population. This continues to improve.

My daughter recieved high honors during all 3 years at the WMS, and my overall experience with them is a positive one. Whenever there was a problem (no school is perfect), the staff was very eager to work with me on it and were able to resolve it in a timely manner. The biggest problem that the school has is the lack of discipline that parents enforce on their own children. They allow their children to speak to teachers as they would their classmates. Then when the teachers fail to teach the children, they fault the teachers. The 'area' is not a bad one, as I've lived in the neighborhood of the school for 10 years and have only seen 2 fights on the street during that timeframe...police regularly monitor the streets around the school to keep them safe. The traffic is an issue and parent/teacher conferences is handled poorly.
