GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am a 8th grade student at Ernest ward middle school. This school mean everything to me The principal Mrs. Perry makes you feel welcome its just a place to lt loose and have fun. You have to be safe follow the rules and be respectful. But other than that Mrs. Perry is just looking put for us. She loves each an every one of the students in that school like her own. If you had to put your kid into a Middle school,I know that I am just a kid, i would definnaly think about ERNEST WARD MIDDLE SCHOOL.-Dakota Giddeon

As a current student, this school is one of the best. The inclusivity of families year-round is spectacular and most teachers here are amazing. When in crisis, our teachers and principals will always put us and our safety first. The lunches here are nutritious and delicious.
