I loved going to Waller. It made my 6th grade year great. I made many friends and I miss them so much. Waller has tons of teachers who really want me to learn and that is what I miss a lot. They really allow the students to be a part of the school. Close Quote

This school has done wonders for my son from the time he started 6th grade.He is handicapped and had to go threw a major surgery this year (which he is now in 7th grade) and has missed quit a bit of school due to all this but they gave him work to keep him caught up and informed about what they were doing in his classes. Everyone has been so understanding threw this hectic prosses and everything we have been threw. As a parent all you want is the very best for your child and I believe with the guidance we had during the transition to middle school, we couldn't have made a better decision than putting him in such a wonderful school as this one. I would recommend this school to anyone who is looking for a great middle school to put they're child in. I can't say enough about how well the staff is at this school. I mean this sincerely, thank you from the bottom of my heart for all you do!! Close Quote
