Whitman Middle School

The "on paper" test-score rating doesn't do this school justice. Despite the difficulties associated with Virtual Learning, my son is thriving! The teachers are engaging, thorough and passionate about their subjects. They follow through and help kids take responsibility for their efforts. The administration communicates frequently and effectively with the parents about changes and information. Everyone is responsive and helpful when questions and concerns arise. So far, we have been very happy there! It is wonderful for military families, like us.

Frustrating. It starts with the top. The principal needs to understand the community, parents, students, and teachers. Reducing behavioral referrals from teachers to alter the school behavior and safety record will not positively modify the school culture and environment.

Please do not send your kids here. I wish someone had warned me before I did. The administration and leaders of this school let kids run the school. My child came home sobbing on multiple days and was scared to return to school because of all the fights. Kids bring knives all the time. Kids have sex in the school bathrooms and in classrooms! They fight each other everywhere and film it. No one does anything about it. There’s so discipline or punishment. Even if your kid cares about academics, his experience will be ruined by all the other kids at this school. The principal is too scared to do anything.

Excellent! Teachers really care and are willing to help.
