Honestly, I would not take your kids here. They really dont teach you anything. Some of the teachers are so rude. And I hate how they stress the kids out. With promotion. Because they leave big assignments. At the end of the year. And dont even give you refunds. If you buy. Stuff for your child. At the end of the year. For the activities. But they could be an eligible. Just because of their grades. Even though sometimes. Children. Dont understand the lectures. And are too afraid to ask for help. So that doesnt seem fair to me. And how the system is handled. And. I have gotten my. Stuff stolen. Here. And they didnt do anything about it. Even though it wasnt my fault. Because it was in the locker rooms. And they dont pay attention.

I would rate my time at this school a three out of ten because the academic parts of this school isnt bad, it is the students that give this school a bad reputation school will also rarely provide help for bulling.

As a parent I must say that I am very dissappointed with WMS ..Our daughter went there and was constantly bullied. Well here we are four years later and our son goes though the same thing, everyday there is some sort of problems and he is being punished for protecting himself.It is very upsetting to have to go through this and we will as well be pulling our son out of this school..Last year he went to the county spelling bee as well as was ont he Presidential Honor roll. Now in the 7th grade everything has gone down hill. We spend more time having to worry about our sons safety then anything,.how can you concentrate on school when you deal with mean kids all the time..I have had my fill and will not allow it anymore...He even had the bus driver making racial slurs to him..So he never rode the bus again. I would rather have him on home studies. The teachers don't have time to teach that is what we are told and the principal and his staff don't get it...
