School highlights:
Twice this school year I emailed the teachers, asking about my child progress in class. Not one response did I receive. The only time I did get a response was for a class room complaint and I cc the principle and the teacher responded in about 30 minutes that time. Bulling is so bad there. The teachers just look the other way. I reported to the school on several occasion students bulling and have never received the first follow up from the school.
They have many programs to offer especially the after school programs!
WPM has made great gains over the past few years on test data. They currently went from meeting 14 out of 21 objectives on the PASS (SC State Test) to meeting 19 out of 21 objectives! Go WPM!
Whittemore Park seems to improve more and more each year. Faculty and staff seems to truely care about my children.
I think WPM has great things going on. But I feel those things are covered up by the lack of discipline from the administration which in turn makes the job of the teachers very frustrating which effects the academics given to our children. When our children know who is in charge and the consequences for their actions, the teacher will have their respect and the doors of learning will once again be open.
Whittemore Park Is an innovative school and is rising each year. It has really come around within the past year and will continue as the teachers, students, and parents have worked diligently towards creating a community within the school. Lastly, this school provides numerous opportunities for students to expand their potential through a diverse array of extra-curricular activities. Whittemore Park is an exceptional school!
Whittemore Park is a good school but the children are sometimes out of control and the teachers act as if they cant handle it. So i feel if you cant take the heat then get out of the kitchen. Maybe if teachers took more time individually with students and make sure they understand then they would be just fine. The school is good, it just needs improvement.
Whittemore Park is the Best in the world!
