Best middle school around! I’ve had multiple kids here and they’ve all had great experiences!

The teachers in this school made no effort to make my daughter feel comfortable at this school. My daughter loves school and tried really hard to connect with her teachers and they were so cold and rude to her! They don’t communicate with parents at all. Most of my emails to her teachers went unanswered. We have sense changed to St Michaels and my daughter couldn’t be happier.

Very bad. The vice-principal needs to shape up.

I have two students at WMS right now, in 6th and 8th grades. They've both had a positive experience (thus far). When I have reached out to teachers or the principal with questions I have found them responsive and helpful. This is a school with overall nice kids, good teachers, and a positive learning environment.

The principal seems only interested in doing the minimum. Olympia school district identified many highly capable students but the principal doesn't want to implement a single program to help these students to excel. All he concerns is to keep everyone ordinary. School districts announced programs before the new school year but when the school year start in fall 2015, all the promises were gone and not a single word to explain it! Terrible!

Two kids currently attending (have since 2012) - no issues. Strong academic environment. Kids do not report bullying. Clean facilities. Teachers teach....but kids will do as well as their parents invest in them. We are in the military and have lived all over the country and world - this is a good school. If looking to move to Olympia, this is were I'd start.

Students are well-behaved and respectful to others. Teachers are diligent and sincere. Office people are helpful and kind.

It is pathetic. Let me count the ways: 1- more focused on their social life then academic. 2-teachers are unaware o f what to do. 3- unecesary rules and disciplinary actions. and MANY more...
