Weiser Middle School

This is a high quality school. With minimal resources and support and a large amount of english language lerners and special education students, This schoool gets a bad reputation sometimes. Last year on the state reading test - nearly 90 % of ELL students had proficient or better. That smokes the state average. The inverse is also true because of high achievement - this school does not show high improvement. 87% proficient to 90%. There are a few areas that can be improved, but these percentages are already higher than most schools and when you have comparatively small total enrollments one or two low test performers can bring everyon's averages down. Don't be fooled by test results which keep them consistently low in the comparison, this school does a lot with a little. Regular fire drills, no power outages, good heating and cooling, environment emphasizing respect, multiple sports programs involving potentially every student. I think what I really like most is high expectations for students at the middle level. I think most people like to forget how they were at this age, but i thinnk this school gets it.

I went to the the Weiser Middle school about 25 yrs ago, and it still look the same. Everything is out dated. But the BIG issue is the bulling, teachers picking favorites and the teachers are not very nice and Mr Hunter is a rude. My son goes to this school and he has special needs, they will NOT do anything to help even tho I brought paperwork to prove he has a disability, and it has been 2yrs and they STILL wont help... I DO NOT recommend this school to anyone.

The kids started gossiping behind my back and started ganging up on me and calling me things like lesbian (despite the fact that I like BOYS) just because I only had one decent friend that was nice at all and I only hanged out with her. I could speak several languages (French, German, ect.) and for this they began to racially slur at me. Not even my "friends" were nice. I went all the way through this year absolutely silent, but when I even so much as say very little they go "Stop talking for once!" then they just go on blabbering about. In P.E. I'd usually get bullied, for example, one day I was sitting on the sidelines during dodgeball and this kid stood a yard away and threw the ball hard enough at me to leave a welt. There is not enough homework handed out and this ruined my education; I didn't have enough material to study with. The teachers pick favorites in this school and they spend very little time tutoring. The lockers are all out of wack and everything is outdated. We only had one fire drill out of the WHOLE year. For kids in the country, expect to spend a whole hour on the bus going and coming back from school. I really don't recommend this school.

This school may not be te prettiest design wise but there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. This school runs smoothly and people should have no reason to think otherwise. Weiser Middle School is probably the best school I have ever attended. This school's faculty is also very helpful to us students and willing to go the extra mile for al of us. The sports are also a good example of this, due to the fact that most of the coaches are unpaid teachers volunteering. This school is amazing nad so is thewhole school district. I absolutely 100% recomend this school.

This school isn't as bad as everyone thinks. There may be questionable learning conditions, but if school's a five-star luxury hotel, I don't know how I'll ever survive in the real world. Hardships help stengthen the heart so we can endure the challenges that lay ahead in our lives. As for academic progress, you should talk to your child's teachers to challenge her/him or buy workbooks for him/her. As for last comment, if you feel so much disdain for the school, quit talking about the conditions! All we have to do is pack some extra clothes in our lockers and we're all set! It's not as if an apocalypse is going to happen here! I may only be twelve years old, but I have thought this through thoroughly.

Weiser Middle School is not a good learning experience for children this age. My children like some teachers but others aren't so great. The building is not even up to date. The colors are from the 70's and most lockers are broken. This school needs some major repairs. There are never fire drills and I'm afraid if there was a fire that my children would not get out safe. The power goes out often and some rooms have no windows making it very difficult to see. The temperature from room to room varies from really hot to freezing cold. If you were moving to this town I wouldn't recomend this school to you.
