This school is not what I expected for academics. My child knee more amd dpoke better before transferring to WWMS. The principal is never available and the assistant principal is very bias. Also , the school is not consistent eith discpline. The school is quick to give out detentions for tardiness, but when a causion stole some items out of my child book bag...absolutely no actions were taken.
Excellent, excellent, and excellent school! The academics are rigorous and what I would expect out of the Munster school system. I am not rich and my child received all the guidance and attention that she needed. The parents who complain about the lack of attention towards their children are usually those who don't show up to any conferences or transfer from other districts such as Hammond or Lake Central and expect their kids to gain knowledge solely from being in Munster. NEWSFLASH, it takes hard work! A good environment i a good thing, but not the only way to help achieve success. Overall, just a great school system!
this is my school and it is definetely a 5 star worthy one :) I love it
I like this school. It's really easy even on the honors track. It's not rigorous and the homework load is light. It's so much easier than Frank Hammond Elementary School.
A quality school but if your kid is not in the honors track--good luck! From my experiences, I've seen many kids who are hard workers, get A's, want to be challenged but unfortunately are a low priority at Administration Bldg with Maureen Stafford - Kids might still get their A's but do not expect a lot of writing assignments in HS. Only the Language Honors track will get the best, more challenging teachers. They do offer a 'high' track for math. This allows the kids to do math one year ahead (same as honors) but at a slower pace. I think the same should be done for the Language department at both the MS and HS. The parents' in Munster definitely contribute positively to the school's overall reputation. We spend a lot of time and $ getting outside help by tutoring our kids to keep them college and grade competitive.
I cannot stand this school! My son has a problem with math and the state was called in to evaluate him. He was promised certain accomadations regarding math, and no one has followed it. I feel no one cares and I can't wait to get out of this school. My son deserves better, and it's not this school. They cater only to kids whose parents are involved, have money, and then the families that are blue collar, forget it! It's who you know!! Not a quality school!
WWMS is a fantastic school. The teachers are all very helpful and care a great deal about the success of the children. The honors track is outstanding! Kudos to the administration for providing an environment that encourages great things for all children;honors, regular, special education!
I really like going to WWMS. The teachers there are great and the kids are pretty cool to, although there are some weird kids, everyone is pretty nice to each other. I am amazed to learn that our basic classes are Honors classes in other schools. I am really enjoying 7th grade and I don't want this year to end.
My 3 children have attended WWMS I am so very impressed with the leadership of the administration. I have seen very young teachers grow into professionals and the leadership and support they receive from their principal is apparent. Parent concerns are always addressed. There is also a genuine concern for the student both intellectually and socially. Middle School years can be tough but are made easier in such an environment.
Some of the teacher's methods are archaic and out of date...if you have an innovative indepedent student...they are not supportive of trying to finds ways for the stimulation of such a child. Standarized tests are the main focus not the student. Socially, it's been a nightmare for my eighth-grader. I cannot wait until May to be out of this school.
