Horrible school. Students are disrespectful, they don’t deal with bullying and the teachers don’t care

Awesome school! They have so many opportunities to allow your child to be involved, and great ways to stay connected! We have three kiddos and two of which, are there now. We could not be happier!

The school is the worst school my kids ever been to the teachers refuse to help my child when he asked a question about his work they say figure it out I've already explained to you once. They count him absent even though he's there and send me truancy letters. The kids at the school cuss a lot. It does not have all the security measures like my kids last school did to ensure that I shooter cannot come as easily.

We've always been told that this is THE middle school to go to in the area and it has definitely held up to be true! This is our first year with a middle-schooler, so our fears were through the roof. The way this school welcomes 6th graders and their parents is top notch. Guiding the 6th graders through their first week really gave our child the boost of confidence he needed to get used to middle school. He has loved this school from day one. The teachers have been amazing and have kept us informed on either a daily or weekly basis. The structure throughout the school day has given my 6th grader comfort. The band teachers are wonderful. The office staff is extremely kind and welcoming. The new principal is always in the mix of things, shaking hands and introducing himself. This school has been outstanding!

This school is not a good environment for kids. I have seen a teacher throw a stapler at a kid and have seen a marker thrown both by a TEACHER! And nothing was done about it. Kids cuss all of the time and teachers are not ever very explanatory on projects or homework and it is really hard for me to learn when they don't teach the work to us!

We have one daughter that's finishing up her first year at Wayside, and in her and our eyes it's been a good year. She has really enjoyed the new experience of having several teachers. All her teachers have made themselves available for us to talk too, when we've needed to. The principle is also very professional, and the kids all say she's nice but tough. Wayside is a great school, and I'd recommend it to anyone that moves in to this area.
