This school was great and I miss it a lot. But I have come to realize there were only a few teachers/counselors I could actually talk to. They also don't consider both sides of the story, they assume it was the other person who didn't come forward with the problem they are encountering. You should take my advice into consideration.

I echo the complaints about special ed. students. They took over 6 months to sign our IEP. The teachers were so bad to my child, an honor roll student no less and in PACE math, that we had to take the district to court to get a fair and appropriate education as guaranteed by law. WRB did all it could to prohibit my child's rights. If you are working with WRB and have a special needs child, have a lawyer ready!

This is my third and final year here at west and I am very happy with all of my past and present teachers, they have always been there to help. The Teachers always try to make school a fun place to be and still teach them about the lesson planned. They go above and beyond to make you feel important and not just another student. The sports are a great way for us students to show school spirit and they are fun to watch and play. Tryouts are fun not stressful everyone goes and has fun and gives each other support. Drama Club is fun to be in, the musicals are always upbeat and interactive. The students work very hard on the performance for half of the year and perform for a live audience in February every year! I truly this is an awesome school!

I am a former student of west running brook middle school, and all I wanted to say is that it is an amazing school with some amazing teachers, now that I am moving on to Pinkerton academy I have realized that I truly do miss west running brook. Though eighth grade was not the best year in west running brook the teachers and counselors were constantly there to fall back on, personally I feel that mrs.haverly is one of those few amazing teachers.

My daughter has attended this school for two years and is entering eigth grade. She loves this school. I love this school. She attended Andover School of Montessori for six years before entering the Derry schools and was concerned about the education she might receive in public schools. WRB has wonderful caring teachers and coaches. Her advisory teachers and coaches have made her experience such that she does not want to leave this school. She is very involved in her school with excellent opportunities in sports and other activities. Academics are very important and Pace classes are available for the gifted. My other children have attended Mass. and Ohio middle schools and although college grads(one is working on a doctorate at BU) did not enjoy their middle school experiences as much or bring away the knowledge and study habits my daughter has acquired. Thank-you staff and coaches for your dedication.
