My child has been an A/Honor Roll student every school year, since 5th grade, she graduates next month and I will miss this school. I never worried about her safety or had to address any fighting issues. This school has a zero tolerance for that type of behavior and violence and fighting is grounds for being expelled. Their schools trip are affordable, mostly free and life learning experiences/enhancements. Class sizes are small and modeled and named after their homeroom teachers' college where they graduated. I found this as an excellent to show our kids what to expect and to look forward to when they go to college. Moreover, it serves as practice too, to participate in college pride rallys and school debates. This school is one of NY's best kept secrets! But should serve as a model to most of the struggling middle schools in our city. Truly they will be missed!!! Four flights up and not one parent mentioned that! Shows how great it is!! lol
This is an excellent school my daughter just graduated. Her class was the 2nd graduating class since the school open their doors and I have to say that the staff is amazing. They are all extremely helpful anc caring. My daughter attended a regular public school before I unfortunately she wasn't pushed to do her best. In this school kids are challenged every day to do their best not only in their school work, but also in their personal lives. I recommend this school to all the parents I know that have kids entering the 5th grade. My son is now also attending and my younger daughter will definetly be attending as well.
This charter school is doing great things for it's students and family. My son who came to this school failing is doing above and beyond our expectations in all areas, including the state exams. The teachers are excellent.
They are focused in making our children successful Adults!!!
We love our school. It has been such a positive experience for my son- I with there were more school just like it. Keep up the good work.
WCCS is a great school. Their academic program is great. My son who attend this school is doing wonderful and i hope that we keep striving for the best.
WC goes above and beyond a parents typical expectations. I've been very pleased with the friendly, safe nature of the school community as well as incredibly able teachers and staff.
I am very happy with this school. Both the teachers and leadership are committed to the sucess of all the children and do an excellent job in making the children want to suceed.
Enrolling in WCCS is the best decision that I could ever make for my daughter. The school makes the learning process interesting for the students. My daughter tells me she is no longer bored in her classes. She likes doing her work and she has started reading more books. Students are well-disciplined and are also rewarded for good behavior when appropriate. I would recommend the school to every parent.
There are good schools who really pay attention to the children overall needs to flurish and grow. The teachers are suppose to help children learn and grow with the experience of learning and developing into young men and women who will prog'ress as adults. If this is what you need and want. Don't Send your child to this school. Please check out all details of the school as much as you can. My child was an A student now she is a C. Enough said. The teachers are new to the teaching themselves. So how can it be progress. If the ones that are teaching don't have a clue.
