My daughter is in 8th grade at Del Webb and has gone there the past three years. She has a mild eye problem and because of this she has to wear sunglasses, the first day of school she was bombarded by deans asking for a doctors note and saying she was not permitted to wear her glasses until they came in contact with a note. There are a few wonderful teachers but most are less then good. One for example complained all year about her love life" and men. Also, this year she was almost suspended for three days because her best friend bumped her knee while they were being teenagers and goofing off in the locker room. Yes, I know this is horseplay ,but a three day suspension? Really? She would have be suspended if I would not have taken the matter to the principle along with her friends mom. Finally, my daughter was traumatically bullied in 6th and 7th grade until she finally "fit in",but she still gets rude comments from time to time. Overall, the students are intelligent ,but the school environment needs a lot of work.
I have 4 kids and all of them went to DWMS, three went to Cornado high school. i currently have one enrolling at DWMS right now. She says DWMS has Good teachers, very clean community, nice people, good school! i would recommend this school.
Good school, met a lot of good friends, excellent teachers, and strong school leadership! :)
Best school ever! My daughter enrolled in Del webb last year, and she had a great time. She joined advanced orchestra and had lots of challenging songs. Her grades went from C's to straight A's! :)
What do I have to say about Del Webb, well it is the WORST school in the history of schools. We are all intitled to our own opinions but this is coming from a large group of kids at Webb from my understanding who are to scared to call out this school. Now like every other school out there, groups are largely associated. If you are in a "popular" group this school is good, but as it goes for my friends and I as "underdogs" we are treated differently of possible appearance or friends made.(Even the adults judge the students...) Some teachers are nice, while most of the others are rude and mean and don't follow their own rules. The principal is a walkng cyborg. There is always a fake smile on her face. The deans are just plain rude. Some workers there don't like the pricipal and deans from my understanding. School is supposed to be fun while educational, unlike Del Webb which is exactly like prison. My friends and I have agreed that we would rather go to prison than this school. I have been attending this school for two years now and I'm not coming back for my final year. I wouldn't recomend this school to anyone. This school doesn't deserve any stars. DON'T GO HERE!!
Del Webb Middle School is the best school. We are a military family and have been to many schools - my kids say DWMS has been the best school. Proactive principal has great leadership skills. I recommend DWMS to everyone moving to Henderson.
I love Del Webb! It's such a great school, and the teachers are very nice! :D Well, some are strict but they're all pretty nice I guess. This is my 2nd year in Del Webb. I look forward to school so I can pretty much see my friends. LOOOL. The people who rated the school 1 are whiny. The deans are scary, but if you do nothing bad, they won't even pay attention to you. -.- And it's good that there is a one way hallway. If people went one way and other people went the other way, people would get hurt. -.- And stop complaining. Wait until you get to college and until you graduate. -.-
I don't like this school the teachers are mean and hard to understand because they talk so fast. The deans are strict and they scare me. There are one way hallways so you have to go out of the hallway and back around to get to your locker or your next class and we only have 4 minutes to get to class. The principal seems nice. The work is very easy I learned most things that we are learning in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade. English and reading are two classes and I think that they should be one class. We are not aloud to bring our backpacks into the classrooms unless we don't have a locker so we have to carry everything in our binders. In P.E. we have to go into a push up position and then into a swat position and then stand up and clap and we have to do that 10 times and I have twisted my ankle twice because of that. My mom made me go to this school because it is rated a ten and is academically strong but they are learning 2nd - 4th grade work.
I am going to this school soon!! I going into 7th grade, and i cant wait for this school..I hope this is a good school for me to learn and be with friends.. I have moved to soo many schools.. i hope this is the right one..
My daughter loves this school. She has been in journalism this past year which has been a very positive experience for her. The only thing that I don't like is that the kids have to sit at lunch in the lunch room and are not allowed to leave their table or go outside. The only dances they have are right after school as well as all other activites. The fun has been taken out of school.
