West Ashley Middle

This school is awful. If you love your kids put them in another school. Fights every day, 95 of teachers have no control over the kids. The staff and principal do nothing to solve any problems. The students run that school not the adults. I have seen it and heard it first hand. Its disgusting and parents of the problem kids dont care they dont hold their kids accountable and no one holds the parents accountable for them. I think and so do a lot of other parents that a police officer should be inside the school patrolling the halls and all the incidents that occur...yes it's that bad. It absolutely ridiculous how unsafe the school is and scary knowing you have to drop your child off and leave them there for 7 hours or so. We are looking into other options and I know of at least 8 other families that are looking to move their kids from that school too. I want ccsd to investigate this school it lacks total leadership and discipline. Its It'sIts bad when kids are scared to go to school and with all the violence and negativity going on its hard for the kids to concentrate, focus and get work done. If something doesn't change soon something is bound to happen and ccsd will have a hell of a lawsuit probably. Its ranked so low to begin with, out of approximately 300 schools its ranked I believe 230 round about. That's awful. And its supposed to be a magnet type school I dont see that. Unless they specialize in bullying and fighting. No one seems to care about the students or the school enough the changes it needs to be great it's not hard to do either. Its laziness of the faculty and principal. So please for your kids sake, mental, physical and emotional health run away and for you the parents save your self the headaches and worrying. It's not worth it. All this school is doing is babysitting juvenile delinquents soon to be offenders probably. There are some really great kids there but they are way out number by the bad kids and get lost in the scheme of things and end up not learning up to their full potential. Ok enough said. Just RUN AWAY FROM WEST ASHLEY MIDDLE SCHOOL!
