White Hill Middle School

Excellent and feel lucky to have a public school of this caliber available to us in this community. Haven't heard any negative experiences from my child's friends parents either, except for the fact that our 6th graders had to smush in with the 7th & 8th graders to accommodate the Charter school takeover of our 6th grade wing.

We gave White Hill five stars last year. This year, it makes a precipitous drop to two starts. The fact of the matter is the new principal is a Level 3 leader. A mere middle manager who lacks vision. He's a bureaucrat more concerned with the $70/day/student than moving White Hill in a positive direction. The loss of Principal Finnane is felt deeply by the student and parents. The only saving grace is the hard work of the teachers who continue to strive valiantly despite a tragic lack of leadership.

This school is great if you have a straight A type of student. If your child does not quite fit a typical mold then he/she will struggle. My child's self esteem plummeted at Whitehill and needed medication for depression and anxiety half way through the year. Teachers act like they are doing everything to support your child but it's disingenuous. I removed my child. I couldn't watch the decline any further.

Bad. Just bad. Would not White Hill again.
