This school lacks caring teachers and staff. I was told over and over again that things were getting taken care of my son was bullied due to an accident that left a scar on his face. I didn't know how bad it was until he took his own life. As a parent this is something you don't ever want to experience, but I did. No matter how much you preach to these adults about bullying they will never listen, or step in to help a child.

My son and daughter both attended Weeks and had no issues. The teachers and staff were wonderful. I love how the PTA is so active and helps provide the child, teachers, and staff with many extras. As a parent if you're involved in your child's education and care about their outcome than that can make all the difference!!

I went to Weeks for all 3 years of middle school. I hated it, and because I wanted to kill myself. I was bullied terribly, and the counselors at the time told me to ignore it. Kids there threw threats at me and nothing was done to them for threatening me. It got to the point I was afraid to go to school, which I was suspended and punished for. I don't recommend this school.
