I'm a parent and my daughter went from loving school in sixth grade to now hating it, since she attended WBMS. It's a combination of things: A. Socioeconomic: Many kids do not have home training and discipline. She hardly has any friends who are nice. B. High Staff Turnover Rate: Some Teachers have been present at first and then disappeared in the middle of the school year. From my understanding, they still haven't found a certified Teacher for Math, 7th and 8 the grade??? C. Lack of Instructional Support: My daughter gets limited help with her classroom, yet Teachers want to throw it all on the parents. They rarely communicate. I would not recommend this school. Please choose "School Choices" if you are able to. I have my daughter on the waiting list at a charter school. She will probably get called very soon. Pray that God protects, guides and strengthens your child in this unhealthy environment and social setting.
