This school has its ups and downs but the biggest thing is the students and staff of the schools they have good education for the students the teachers are a hit or miss some of them are nice some are not the admin are pretty good at having an understanding with the students and give the necessary discipline for actions the safety of the school is questionable the reason I say that is because the school doesnt have mental detectors and they really dont check the students bookbags. Even though they have clear book bags kids can put things in their pockets or socks or whatever so the safety can be better overall the school is okay its not bad but its not good either.

Went to WM 6th and 7th, didn't go in person in 8th due to COVID. The school is good, if you have friends. Friends are important in this school. You will dislike this school without it. I can't name a teacher that I didn't like or hated. Most were forgettable. Ms. Park, and Mr. Mathers are my favorites. (I loved Ms. Crawford but that was during COVID so I ain't go. You will hear things about this school you won't like and you might be afraid. But just mind your business if you can't/ don't want to make friends. If you do hate it, it'll be over before you know it.

Not tall. The teachers and administrators turn their head when approached with issues with bullying. They are just there because they need a job. Not because they care and want the students to learn. The principal talks about parents in her staff meetings. She definitely needs to be let go.

Definitely no leadership at all. They show no concern for the students to try and lead them in the right direction.

You never aware of whats going on with class work or home work because the teachers dont write back or return phone calls to parents. They rarely put grades in and the principals dont care.

Teachers and administrators have no respect for parents or students. Principal and assistant principals do not care. Secretaries are definitely rude. They yell at students in front of parents.

A few issues with the school. 1rst I'm not sure why PG county has chosen to channel TAG students to this school. My daughter's bus ride is over an hour and she constantly complains of unruly kids. Her science teacher got ill and it took them months to finally get a replacement. The replacement was the substitute teacher which wasn't teaching anything before she took over (not sure why). The TAG math apparently doesn't believe in books. That's how I studied math. My daughter is constantly online while I'm asking her does he teach out of the actual math book and she's constantly saying no. There's never any assignment given from the book...only hand-outs and online stuff. No wonder our kids are actually getting worse instead of better at math and science...in today's world the two most important subjects if you're trying to get into high paying long lasting career fields. English is just as important but it's a little easier finding a quality English teacher. It's no wonder our kids starts to shy away from math and science once they get to High School. They have become conditioned to think they cannot handle it because of poor teaching technique and guidance.

This is my daughter first year at wmjh so far so good the first two days showed a well organized staff. No one said they didn't know and just walked away they pointed me in the direction where I could get the answer . If this is how the whole year will follow thur then I am glad my child is going there. Please keep up the good work and don't drop the ball these our your future leaders.

This is my sons first year as a seventh grader at Walker Mill Middle School for 2012 year. So far he has had no trouble. There is a new principal in place and she seems to be on point with the interest of the children. It is only the first quarter.
