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 went to WMS all 3 years of middle school and was able to make a lot of good friends that I have till this day as well as teachers, administrators, and resources to get me to wherever I wanted to go for high school. Everyone here always wants the best for your child and someone your child knows will be at every sports or academic event, competition, or game they have during their time and after ! I also recommend their performing arts programs and Montessori program if you think that is the next best step for you or your child :)

This school is not the best, there's been a lot of bulling in this school and the school hasn't done anything to fix it and it has been going on since 2012 so I'm worried about what's going to happen in the future.

They put too much pressure on their students, they give out extra work to the monassori students and treat them badly, most of the teachers are rude and they don’t let girls do baseball, so overall would not recommend

I don't like it. Never did. And it Proved me right! My living area is there only reason my child attends this school. She has went backwards mentally and emotionally, I told the school that and I knew that before she would even go. It's hard to go somewhere and do your Best and you have to deal with...
