Open Quote this school is great! so much fun and soo much kindness I love it also teacher r soooo amazing here Close Quote

Open Quote Wellington Landings Middle School overall is just an average school unless you're taking gifted/honors classes. From personal experience, I have noticed that kids who take gifted classes have a lot better attitude and have better judgement. This school educationally wise is great! If you want your child to do well and go to a good high school for example Suncoast I would suggest sending your child here. I have been here for years and matured into a well rounded young adult. However, I have seen a handful amount of students yearly getting bullied and teased. The school does a terrible job at keeping Landings a "bully-free campus" I believe that they should fix this problem. This school is also awfully strict and treats their students as if we are 8 years old even though majority of us are teenagers. In the cafeteria, the administrators watch over us like hawks. We have to sit at assigned tables. I find this extremely unfair because lunch is our only "break" from school. School is approximately 7 hours and lunch is only 30 minutes, I don't quite understand why students can't sit where they want. Another thing about this school is the bathroom policy, also known as the 15/15 rule. You cannot use the restroom 15 minutes during class and 15 minutes before the bell rings. As a young woman, I find that extremely unfair. Girls and boys should use the restroom whenever it is needed. The bathrooms are also extremely dirty and always smells terrible. This middle school is dead broke. Landings isn't very welcoming at all. The front office woman Mrs. Skinner always complains about her job when parents around. She always whines about how she has a lot to do. Not to mention the fact that teachers complain to us students about how low their job salary which not to mention is completely unprofessional. To conclude, don't send your child to WLMS unless they're flexible, independent and in advanced classes. Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
