Viking School

Overall this school is a quality school. There is temendous diversity (racial and socioeconomical) which aids social exposure but can bring problems as well. Overall, the smaller size (compaired to woodland) aids individual growth. There are many things for students to get involved in with sports, music, arts, clubs and intramurals. Since the school is smaller there is less competition so most kids that tryout or want to participate in an activity can. The band program is fantastic. Teachers are great for the most part. There are a good amount of absolutly wonderful teachers that every kid gets at least one while there. I am going into my senior year at warren and I can honestly say Viking kids are just as prepared for high school as woodland kids. Often times, Viking kids liked Viking better than Woodland kids liked Woodland because of the oppourtunities that were available.

Viking Middle has a very clean friendly and atmosphere. The teachers are hardworking and there is a wealth of extracurricular activities. My child has been there for three years and has seen very little fighting. He may remember four in that time, which I consider normal for any middle school. The school is very strong in the arts and has one of the best middle school drama programs in the country.

It was the best school because 6th grade has the nicest teachers 7th has the funnest and 8th are smart exept the Composition teacher on 8 white because she had no patients. But overall its the second best school my 1st is Spaulding!

This school is absolutely horrible. I went here all three years and every other week there would be a fight. The teachers are all right. If you are thinking of coming here then don't because your child won't like it. It isn't really safe either. For the past two years including this year, there has been graffiti tags all over the school especially where they have the skate park. It is not a safe school. If you are moving here in this area than make sure you go to Woodland middle school. Academic standards are very low especially in the isat scores.

seriously, my favorite school ever. The teachers are very nice, and the band program is amazing. I like it much better than the high school.

My son transferred to Viking from a school much smaller. The quality of academics at Viking are high. The teachers are very organized and very easy to communicate with. I have also had the opportunity to meet the assistant principal who seems very involved with the daily activities at the school. 2006-2007
