Upper, upper Staff not held accountable. They've been failing and are reluctant to change the cancer culture they have created. Time for tough love, no more tolerance! We are relocating our family this coming summer. Close Quote

I have a 7th grader at WMS. The staff are excellent, the principal is committed, motivated, and connected with the students and staff. Our child is involved in many extracurricular activities. We are very happy with the school academically. We appreciate all the ways that the teachers help our 7th grow and excel every day. Thank you WMS. Close Quote
