I am a student currently attending Webster, and it is almost never a bad school... No fights, no bad teachers, its a fine school. Admitted, Webster used to be a bad school, but that was fixed. No weapons can be smuggled in because there are metal detectors, police, and cameras. Obesity is not common at the school either. Gym teachers put children into shape. There are healthy food, athletes, and sports... Webster is over thirty - five years old and has over fifty sports awards. I reccomend it.

I am a former teacher from Webster. I changed jobs in order to be nearer to my own children's school. In my own 2 year experience at Webster, I found that most of the teachers worked very hard not only to teach, following state mandates, but to discipline and councel their students. Many students going to Webster come from troubled homes. That is not the fault of the teachers or administration. In my experience I found the principals easy to work with, and I saw them many times work with unruly students, and parents, bending over backwards to show as much respect as possible. Most teachers are there, because they want to make a difference in lives. No one else would put up with the stress and hard work. Try being a substitute, it will change your perspective!

I think Webster is a wonderful school! My child was being bullied and as soon as I told the Principal what was happening, it was corrected. I have heard other parents in my neighborhood say that they will not report the bullying because they feared the bullies would get worse. I have gone to the school on several occasions and the office staff and teachers are polite and willing to help my child. They will stay after school if needed to help with missing assignments or low test scores. My chils loves being at Webster. I can not how happy I am that my child is cared for and is getting a good education there.

My child attends Webster and is currently in the 7th grade, unfortunatly we live in the district and cannot afford private school so we have no choice but to send our child here. My child has experienced nothing but problems from this school. He was bullied and physically assaulted several times during the year, and nothing was ever done about it. The staff is very unprofessional and uncaring. The OKC police officer on duty there last year was a joke. I was non stop at that school last year. The school policy states that a child will be arrested if he or she physically assaults another, but clearly they have no desire to enforce school policy, but they have no problem suspendidg a student for flicking a pencil in class. This school is backwards and in my opinion is a dump.

As a parent, I am thrilled with the educational opportunities at Webster. All of the children are treated fairly and with respect. The staff makes a real effort to individualize education for all students. Mr. Brown has done an excellent job turning Webster around and making it a great school for all of our children.

My daughter attended Webster and I would never recommend anyone to that school. I believe that the teachers and principals need a lesson in respect. I have been to that school several times and not one time did I see any respect from any of the staff. Its ok to show these kids a little love...that is all they may be getting this day. I encourage all staff to say a kind word at least one time a day to these students believe me it can make a difference. Never have I heard a kind word come from them...I am glad my daughter no longer attends Webster...I had to move to get her out of there!

I believe that these teachers, need to go through some course, to review what teachers are suppose to do. I believe this is the worse year ever.

I am a former student of Webster and the school has went down alot. The for the most part some of the teachers go out of their way to help the kids but but of course you have teachers that are there just to collect a paycheck as well. As for the principals I personal feel that they are very unprofessional in dealing with the kids and parents. I also feel that they are not concerned with the education of the students. There is not teacher parents commucation at this school. The staff needs to learn that some kids to come to school to learn.
