So, I am a 8th grader in this school, and for a second, I thought this was a good school. ITS NOT. I saw a kid get pantsed in the gym 3 TIMES BY THE SAME PERSON. Then when he went for the 4th time in 15 MINUTES the kid turned around and "scared him." Then the kid who scared him got in more trouble While the kid who did the pantsing got off Scott free. How does that work you ask? I don't have the FOGGIEST IDEA. I don't know why this is on "great schools.org." Its the complete OPPOSITE. This should be on Terrible schools.org. So overall 1 star.

I pulled my child and opted to homeschool them after 2 months. My child was never challenged and most of the teachers used YouTube videos to teach instead of actually doing the teaching themselves. It feels like since COVID, classroom teaching has become monitoring the class while they have free reign on their laptops. There was very little oversight on how laptops were used and no learning was being done.

my child will not remain here. This school turns good kids into criminals, with their lack of action in situations

petty and too worried about vulgar displays of power over pre teen kids

I've voiced a number of issues and my child still is being harassed and made to feel unsafe here

Wasilla Middle School had a bad reputation in the Mat-Su Valley. Majority of the students at WMS are lower income. The learning environment is very difficult for student and the students are disrespectful to staff and other student.

Dude all i have to say is i love WMS the teachers are great very helpful and easy to connect with. Im not sure what the "make you day" program is but i have never noticed it being a problem, right now we have "passports" and you dont really need them. Hah. I have a lot of friends here and i really enjoy going to wasilla middle school. By the way im in 7th grade so hah yea...

I am in my 2nd year at WMS. The first year was ok, however 8th and 7th graders would tease the 6th graders, and the teachers approved of it by also saying that 6th graders "are at the bottom of the totem pole" and not sticking up for them. I am almost done with my 7th grade and I think this was the worst school year of my whole life. I can't take art class seriously since most of it seems to be elementary stuff (or is just review from last year), the Make Your Day program is just a joke, bullies seem to be everywhere, and there are no after school activities that I want. There are some nice teachers, but then you start to dislike most of them by the end of the year or by your next year.
