it’s very fun, the staff are very kind! I feel at home and safe around there and I get to hang out with my friends and the adults supervising me are super helpful and very trustworthy.

The school experience for my family is great. Parent/Grandparent need to volunteer when ever possible to support the school.

I rated this school a one because the staff in the office and attendance office are so rude. They’re not friendly at all. I don’t understand why they work for the school district if they hate their job

Cannot understand the attendance office staff, Need ENGLISH speaking clerks please. I don't speak spanish nor do I understand the very heavy accent, all the words running together making it very hard to communicate.

I think this school is great. They have great staff and great teachers. They have a wonderful drill team that sponsors the school very well. the girls on that team are very respectful and they honor there school and themselves. This a wonderful place and wouldn't have my kids go anywhere else. Keep it up SMW doing a great job.

I tried to enroll my son in this school and one of the staff named Mr. Ross was very RUDE and didn't want to hear me out. Not happy with that.

I graduated smw in 2013 and i loved every minute of middle school. I didnt like some of my teachers personally, but as far as teaching goes there great. Ive never heard of bullying there but there is a some disrespectful children there. Other than that great school.

Stephen M. White Middle School is an outstanding school because of the community it services and the strength of it's extra-curricular programing to ensure that students are not just strong academic performers, but have a strong sense of citizenship and civic leadership as active members of their community. I am a Family Physician volunteering at my alma mater to help the students envision their dreams and build the skills and fortitude to realize them. Clarence C. Monteclaro, MD

A large number of kids at this school kids are very rude and loud. At the end of the school day , they just come of the gate so fast and just walk right in front of your car. The school even had to have securuity. They use bad lanuage in front of adults and other small kids. I can't seem to understand why the kids dress so disrespectiful. Most of the kids seem to be lost in another world and they seem to be trying to fit in with everyone else. Instead of trying to get a good education. If you have a child going to this school or will attend this school please pay close attentionto them. I do understand not all of the kids are this way. i am sure they have some good kids

We live in Torrance and i was a little annoyed that this was the ONLY middle school in the area that my 6th grader could go to. But since ALL of his friends are going here too, I guess it's okay. Let's see how the first year turns out.
