Worcester East Middle School

Worcester east middle is the best school Ive ever been to, the learning environment is great the teachers and students are awesome, and first floor scholars are the best.If i had a choice to go to any middle school again and again over and over again it would be Worcester east middle school (WEMS) and i hope any 6th grade will go there

Oh WOW! I feared for the worst on my first day, thinking I was going to be shoved in a locker. But no, the teachers are always in the halls, and the discipline is fair. The teachers are very close to the students and are funny, rewarding, and always try to keep you successful. I was on the Scholars team and the pride for your school is great. Scholars' MCAS scores were the best this year out of the other teams' and the students are rewarded greatly. I'm going to the 8th grade now, but I definitely think the school's past shouldn't affect your child's future, because sincerely this was the best school I ever went to.

I went to East Middle last year. ( I graduated in June 2008) The teachers were nice, perhaps too nice. They would let the kids do whatever they pleased, and the discipline was terrible. You can swear at a teacher without any consequences. The education was horrendous! In Enlish, we learned the very basics that 4th graders learn, and math was a piece of cake. History was simple, and science was too easy. We're not in 5th grade anymore! I'm sure we can understand the concepts of genomes and DNA. I passed with straight A's. Teachers give A's, judging how 'nice' or how well you behave in class. They don't go by how hard you work.

It's going to be a shame to leave Worcester East Middle. Everytime I think of the thought of leaving, I get butterflies in my stomach! I've gotten used to all of the students, and bonded with my teachers in the past two years. I'm in the eighth-grade, third floor, A-Team. In 7th-grade, I looked up to the 8th-graders. I referred to them as super-cool-eighth-graders. Now as an 8th- grader, occasionally teased a 7th-grader. I'm not cruel about it; it's all in fun! But next year the 7th graders will take the present 8th grader's place. It's a never ending cycle. WEM has its bad crowds. If you mind your own buisness, they will leave you alone. I was so scared on the first day of 7th-grade. I can remember the principal calling us to the Auditorium of August 2006. I was so close to crying! After 2 weeks, I settled in.

I currently an 8th-grader who attends WEMS. I am on the thirdfloor, A-Team. I am an honor student with good grades. I get all A's exept for Spanish class... The Spanish teacher is wonderful, by far, the best teacher I have ever had, but learning a new language is one of my weaknesses. Despite my A's in the other classes, there's always room for improvment. I like most of my teachers. I have no friends at school, bcause friends are a waste of time, Why not read a book instead? That's a good subsitute!' Oh, that is my most comical joke I have ever said. Get it? Subsitute teacher? I resent going to school everyday. I mean not to affend teachers, staff, or anyone with high authority, but the school is a terrible learning environment! I want to learn, but I can't with the wild students. It's a very unruly group. No discipline. No morals or ethics.

Im a student at worcester east middle and i have to say for my first year here was pretty scary because worcester east middle had such a horrible reputation but slowly its getting its way back up. The teachers are great and no. The kids are not scary and they wont beat oyu up every 20 seconds. Thats a lie. So if your a parent and your scared about bringing your kid there dont be from a students perspective its great (but it has its drama moments). Its clean and you learn...And its not like your there all day.

I am a teacher at WEMS and have been for the past 6 years. When I started teaching it was quite bad and have seen it turn around in the time I have been there. The teachers are very well qualified and the current administration is excellent. Like all middle schools, you have your handful of challenging students but overall the students are good. The teachers and the administration really care about the students and are working very hard to change the reputation of the school. It is not what it once was.
