WJC School overall is ok. I am in the 8th grade and the work load is not that bad. The building is horrible though. You can bearly see in the hallway because the lights arent bright. The gym is like a little box and then we have to share the gym with K-5 students. But the students are friendly. We all have our days. There arent fights or anything like that, we just simply stay out of any others' way. The work is not easy, you just have to stay on top and be very attentive in class. So,overall the school has its ups and downs but it is ok.
WJ Christian School is not the way people say it is. Can you imagine coming home and doing homework that takes 5 hours worth of completing? Well, i first attended wj christian in the 7th grade and the work load was horrible. We had projects from all of our 5 teachers, plus homework due from them also. Sometimes the projects from the teachers were due at the same time. Also, the majority of the middle school students, including me, were involved in school sports as well. How could we manage school sports, a ton of homework, and projects at the same time?
All 3 of my children went/go here, elementary thru middle, and I am pretty well-pleased with the education they have received here. [As a parent, former teacher, administrator and University instructor, I am no push-over.] Teaching staff is well above average, with some notable exceptions. They actually care about the kids, and are motivated in their teaching. The administration is competent, and the school very safe. If you are lazy (as a student or parent) you won't like this school, because it pushes students to learn (as a school should). I too believe students should be taught in class, and not have mounds of homework dumped on them for their parents to teach them at home. However, I find this to be a problem in general, when schools have poor teachers [not WJC] or huge class sizes. With some recent System problems, class sizes have risen here -- something to watch.
