[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a 6th grader there.  It’s been a “ meh” experience.  I don’t find any of the teachers inspiring or great.  They do not seem to go above and beyond.  Principal is terrible.  [/quote]

Agree on the "meh" experience. Most teachers do not seem to care and its evident to the kids. One teacher even complained to the class how she "had to work on a weekend to answer emails". According to my daughter, she seemed extremely annoyed and took it out on the class. We found (especially during remote learning) many teachers doing the bare minimum, assigning videos for the kids to watch instead of actual instruction, literally teaching for 15 mins out of 50, etc etc. [/quote]

Our experience was the exact opposite.  My child - now at YHS - had a great experience at WMS.  We found the teachers and staff very warm and engaged. We had several teachers reach out on multiple occasions to offer assistance to my child with organization and study habits.   There were a few teachers which were just average but the majority of the teachers were really great.  DC never had a teacher who didn't seem to care or complained to the students.

We didn't have any personal interactions with Mr. Boykin so I can't speak to that but he seemed okay to me.  DC has an IEP and we had no issues with the special ed team or the teachers. Everyone seemed to really want to help.
