Last year was very good ,but this year has been the worst school ,you should not even think what is going on at school and even outside of school,
u will not regret bringing your child to this school it is disciplined organized and functional
i am currently a 7th grader at wbms and this school is amazing. it is diverse and a good school. i went to barbara bush elementary school and as a 5th grader i heard rumors how the school was 'ghetto' but it is not. some people are but the can be nicer than the richest person at school.
My daughter has had a great experience at West Briar! The key is to get involved with school and the great programs the school has to offer
This school is very unorganized. The discipline is not consistant and they do not follow through with enforcing school rules. They allow students who are 'good' to continue to violate dress code while enforcing dress code with the 'problem' kids. THey only have ISS for five periods which is also ineffective! They enforce rules maybe once or twice a week which causes confusion for a child. They do have great extracurricular activities and hard working teachers. Some teachers allow kids to listen to IPODS in the classroom even though the principal does not allow it.
This is possibly the worst school my child has ever attended. Have been in contact with different teachers about how things are organised and taken care of and our questions are not always answered. This might be due to their work overload. We chose this school due the good ratings it received.
this is my sons first year at this school and i do see improvements. Teachers always return my calls with a attitude. seem like a great school just dont understand why they are not recognized. I guess time will tell.
This is quite possibly one of the worst schools my child has ever attended. As a child with a learning disability, you expect teacher's to be more understanding. His regular ed teachers have been awesome - I cannot, however, say the same for those allegedly helping him with his other classes. I chose this school, because I hoped they would help him excel. He kept a good standard previously with grades, behavior, and homework. That he has struggled and dropped below it highly reflects on how little this school cares about it's average student.
I have been a student here sixth graed so I know this school like the back of my hnad. The teachers are superb and actually WANT you to succeed. West Briar makes it fun to learn and contributes greatly to sports. I know this because I am a cheerleader there! My point is that scools can't get any better than WBMS!
My two older children attended this school from 6-8 grade and loved it. The staff is excellent and gives 100% to help students needing additional instruction - either before or after school. The extracurricular activities are exceptional including athletics, fine arts, and clubs. My youngest child is now starting as a 6th grader and can't wait.
