Rude teachers, terrible staff, and they treat their students poorly.

There are a lot of fights at this school. Many of the classes are out of control. Students/ parents file official reports against teachers when students get in trouble, so teachers are afraid to enforce class rules. Admin/ deans stay mostly in their office or walk around courtyard/ hallways talking to each other rather than working with students.

There's some teachers that don't assign homework, Those are the classes that are the easiest but easy to forget. There's less stress to students but in the end nothing is learned.- Many of the teachers are clearly homophobic and favor white students, Schools should accept EVERYBODY no matter who they are, I've seen a teacher NOT wear a mask during a pandemic and only having a face shield that isn't being worn correctly, They take it off in the hallways. Teachers also need to understand that not everybody has a good home life, If you call a students parents for 1 missing assignment are you going to 100% be sure that the kid will be safe? I've seen many gifted kids suffer with a bad home situation. Also the whole "I'm going to call your dad/mother" thing is so horrible, The student getting scared sometimes isn't funny.- Kids that have been at the top stay at the top, There's two types of leadership in this school, one is the popularity which is taken over people that think being disrespectful to teachers, making fun of someone's looks/disabilities, purposely not doing any work/bad grades and always being in detention makes them the best/funniest. The other is the type of kids that are naturally gifted and don't have to work as much, There's not any space for other kids.- Horrible, everybody is so rude to each other. even after the counselors have "fixed" the problem it doesn't stop, This school lowers peoples self esteem or ego way too high. - Teachers aren't familiar with very common learning disabilities, They should at least be able to tell when a student is suffering with ADHD/ADD, Autism and Dyslexia. I was obviously suffering with ADHD and all my teacher told me was to stay still and to keep myself together. - This school does nothing. I'm always getting hit by others for simply existing and its tiring, Kids can't be themselves here, You can't love who you love without being called a disturbing word, You can't even do P.E without being looked at weirdly, I've seen multiple people give up what they love just because they keep getting picked on for it.

I have worked here for two school years, during a Pandemic. The staff is amazing, the leadership is great and the families are loved. Sure teens can be 'crazy' and during a pandemic act out at times... but what school doesn't have that. My class of students is awesome! I highly recommend this school.I see very little bullying.

Assigned seats at lunch. Bathroom passes, students are given 3 per class, per 9 weeks. 7 classes times 3 bathroom passes equals 21 bathroom passes for every 45 days.

This school is very ok. The teachers are ok but their work sucks. My science teacher gives the worst stuff out of everybody he is just always throwing papers at us and says due tomorrow.

Great School. Great Teachers. Great Communication. We hear updates by phone from the principal every week.

I am disappointed that this school did not have meet the teacher during schedule pick up. Being new to this school it would of been nice to put a face to each teachers name and get their contact information. I don't understand why all the other middle schools met their child's teacher except for wolf lake. I know I'm going to get the opportunity to meet them during open house but that's a whole month after school started.

Im pretty disappointed at this school. I though this school would make my son become more educated and prepared for the future but nope I was fooled. The majority of teachers dont help the students achieve goals. I would not recommend this school.

My son gets teased by a group of boys who are very very mean and nasty. They go around and pick on innocent kids like it's their hobby. I really hope that someone from this school faculties realize that this school has a bully issue big time! Where is anti bulling program? I don't want any other kids have to go through this horrible experience like my son.

I LOVE THIS SCHOOL!!The teachers are very involved in wanting my daughter to succeed. If she tries to get lazy( as preteens do) they are right there making sure she picks up the pace. Everytime the school has an event the parking lot is filled with cars from parents that want to get involved! GOOOOOO Wolf LAKE!!!!!!
