WMS provides the perfect transition from elementary school. The staff truly cares about the students and understands the unique demands of this age group, both academically and socially. We are lucky to have such a great school in our community!
I am a student at the school, and it's been a great expierence being a student at WMS. There is good energy at the school
Though the whole district is good, this is the gem of the system. Kids are excited to learn, teachers are excellent quality. Resource program is very good for most kids that are in it (GREAT for my own daughter). Music program is very strong, particularly the band program. Each grade also has a special field trip that unites the students and focuses on that grade's topic. 6th does a bike trip to Walden Pond (Thoreau), 7th to an organic farm and special caves(Rachel Carson and the environment)8th to Cape Cod and Washington (Martin Luther King, earth sciences. Kids learn to study, and can qualify for advanced math all three years and advanced science in 8th grade. Civility and participation are also important.
Very Very Good Music Program, Jazz Band one of best in state! Smart Real teachers for the most part, most very smart, and good at teaching. Very helpful atmosphere, always someone willing to help any student for anything. Trusting enviorment, yet still with control. Parents are incredibly involved. Drama program in general is just INCREDIBLE! Music Teacher WROTE the musical, and its going to be published. MCAS Grades excellent. Downside (maybe upside)is that a lot of homework is given. I am in the 7th grade, and i get between 1-3.5 hours of homework a night. On project work nights i have 3-6! High standerds to meet! But learn an incredible ammount. Very diverse community. No fights, grafiti, very clean. Violence isn't tolerated. Has a pretty decent arts and media department. pretty good network of computers, laptops, and desktops (250+ comps). Small classes. Overall, incredible school, with room for unimportant improvment. :D
