I used to be former Student Over there at William Wirt Middle School. Overall its an amazing school! Got to see many new experience, this school was very fun at my Middle School time. Teacher were so chill and nice and teached very well, they made everything in a productive way. Got to go on many field trips and also celebrated alot of things. Ms. Similey was a principle that always wanted to see her students have a smile on there face and always want them to have a good time, same goes to the assitance principles. Overall an amazing school very productive, very safe, and very encourage. I recommend alot this Middle School, they well make you feel welcomed.

The teachers there's are very helpful. And if you ask them to show what your child has been missing then they will show you a folder. I really recommend this school to all parents because it's a great school.

Students are very rude. My son was new at that school and the students there bullied my son, and from that day on my son was afraid to go to school.

The principal Mr. Christian is very rude and have a nasty attitude. It's sad to see people who care nothing about children working with them just for a pay check
