Wellington Landings Middle School

Im in 7th grade and I love this school!! The teachers are great!(well the ones ive had) My only problem is the bathrooms,but that can be fixed. Im in Concert Chorus and I absolutley love it! The teacher,Mrs.Pernezny ,is very nice. This school has a great sports program and excellent school clubs.

School and bathroom are filthy and need cleaning. Many of the teachers ( esp the femaleones have poor attitudes and are not approachable). The 7th grade guidance counselor needs to retire. The public schools in Florida put too much emphasis on the FCATS and not enough on learning. Students are treated like numbers not individuals. Kids have to fail to get any help at all -- of your child needs special attention in a particular subject the parents are told to hire a tutor. There are a lot of fights and there is not enough done about bullying. Florida public schools are the pits and they need to be overhauled from top to bottom.

As a teacher in Palm Beach County I have taught at several different middle schools in the area. The expectations for excellence placed upon the students, faculty AND staff are much higher at WLMS than any other school I have taught at. Yes, the school is old,and as in every school there are some teachers that are better than others. But the school continues to outperform all other "non-choice" middle schools in the district year after year. Don Estridge and Bak are excellent schools, but they are magnet schools and can pick and choose enrollment to a certain degree. Excellence is expected from everyone. Parent involvement is very high and the athletics generally excel. Unfortunately, our district tends to give technology preferences to at-risk or low performing schools. As a result, the technology is somewhat lacking (no permanent projector mounts, not many AV aids, lots of cords to trip on around the classrooms), but the school manages to incorporate technology pretty well, given what they have. Overall, as a teacher, I am very impressed with the school and look forward to many more years there!

The schools needs cleaning. Students are given assignments to complete and except in math, with very litttle teacher interaction. Teachers need to be excited about learning so students want to come to school and enjoy learning.

Another school year started and again there is 2-3 hours nightly of homework, projects on long weekends, staff members making fun of students, the bathrooms still too dirty and smelly to use . The sports continue to do well, but, the academic focus needs to change from read this "chapter and complete this packet."

im in 8th grade anddd his school sucks well 8th grade does. 7th grade is the best year by far. Tequesta team has the NICEST teachers. Mrs.Prater is very assuming and judemental and he over-reacts to things alot. 8th grade gets way to much homework. Mr.COhen is good for history. Mr.Berton is a good 7th grade teacher.

I have my Child enrolled in this school and all I have to say is that this school is the BEST!! There Sports Program is Incredible, and After School activities are really wonderful. The School is old and the only concern I have is that when there is a Storm, (If it rains the Whole day) The 6th Grade Area floods, But the Principals Try there Best to Keep Students from getting Wet. The Dress Code is very Formal, not overly strict like my sons old school but Formal and nice. -Penton Family
