Washington Middle School Reviews


Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2005-10-09 “This is a diverse school in so many ways, from race to personal ability to programs offered. There is a wonderful art program here, and the music program is simply the best in public middle schools in the city. Look into getting your child into Spectrum or APP; APP is truly the best curriculum for the city, and looks great on college applications. This is the ONLY middle school that offers APP. The building itself wants improvement, and not all the teachers are as cooperative as would be nice, but they all are very experienced. The 'block' teachers- Language Arts and Social Studies for the first two years- are wonderful in making their connections with students and making them feel at ease. Also, send your child to Washington, and know that they will get the opportunity to make friends with a wide variety of kids... and they will succeed in life!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2004-12-28 “This is a great school with a thriving music program, I mean half the school plays an instrument! Our math teachers are intelligent and actually have experience. Finallly, this is the only APP midd. school in the area and deserves some recommendation.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2004-01-26 “I think that Washington middle school is a great school! The biggest problem I have with it is that teachers there let kids run through the halls as fast as they want and slam in to other kids, basically, the teachers should spread out more during passing periods instead of standing in clumps talking to each other.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2004-01-22 “This is a student coming from Washington and this school is great. Of course, I may be biased because I am in the app program here, but after 3 years here it's way different than when I started. It seemed scary when I was in 6th grade, but over the years I've made some really good friends, and had my share of wonderful, and horrible teachers. Don't judge a book by its cover. Washington is way cooler than it looks.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2003-10-23 “I attended this school in the 80's and not one single thing has changed. The hours are the same, the building is the same, and the kids are the same. This school has very little technology as well. I couldn't stand this school; that's why my child goes to Hamilton by Greenlake. It's much better.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-09-16 “Great school. Incredible music department, excellent math, good language arts, tough social studies (but that's ok!), and absolutely awful science.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-06-19 “Excellent music program. A school with high expectations.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-04-09 “WMS is an inner city school that rises to the challenge: meeting the diverse needs, abilities and interests of it's students. Despite overcrowding and a somewhat run down physical facility, the teachers, counselors and administrators work hard to make sure that kids dont fall through the cracks. I ha am extremely impressed with the counselors and the teachers my daughter has had the past two years. They are always ready to give assistance and encouragment while setting the bar high for achievement. The music program is also exceptional - both the orchestra and jazz band are award winners.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 3 2008-04-04 “The science department is awful and the non-music electives (especially PE) are laughable. The atmosphere seems tense at times as cranky administrators attempt to enforce some somewhat arbitrary rules. Otherwise, there are many good things at WMS.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2008-03-02 “I'm a 7th Grader at WMS. I started this year and from the first day I felt like I belonged. There's a variety of teacher capabilities. Some are great all around, some are good at teaching but not necessarily liked, or are just horrid all around. Definately get a good music background before trying out for the music program, especially theory, improv, and sight-reading. Take it from someone who learned it the hard way! The anti-bullying program doesn't work(does it ever?), but if you know how to report bullying, you'll be fine.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2008-01-21 “This is a great choice for academically challenging environment. There are some inconsistencies in various teachers' abilities. WMS has a great music program (make sure your child gets in in the 6-th grade or even starts taking music in elementary school). Overall, good balance of academics and extracurricular activities!” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-10-30 “Washington Middle School is very diverse and offers fabulous after school activities, clubs, and classes that kids with all intrests can enjoy.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-10-19 “The school is really diverse and it has great teachers and an excellent APP program. The music program is outstanding and represents the school well in national competitions with other middle and high schools. An excellent school for a student with high achieving standards.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2007-06-25 “I feel washington middle school teachers are one of the best of its kind. I feel there is a lot of stuff to do there.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-07-26 “I go to this school as an 8th grader and WMS is a really great school, even if the 'environment' isn't all that great. The academics are really good and the music program is just fantastic.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 4 2006-03-23 “the Music program at Washington is great. even if you're not very good, if you work hard, you will be rewarded.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-13 “I have 6th and 8th graders who go to this school. There are regular, spectrum, and APP program with diversity. The classes are separated by the program. All are mixed together at the gym and music classes. Great music program! High quality Jazz Band with awesome teacher, Mr. Knatt! The difference from the other schools is students can't make up the assignment here. So if your kids have difficulty about organizing the things, it's kind of hard. Some boys have bad experiences getting very low grades. Girls are pretty good at this! The school buses are provided after after-school program. It's nice. As a public school, it's pretty good over all. The teachers' quailty are always depend. Principal is new this year(2005~6th).” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-01-10 “This is a great school. This school has many activities and after school tutoring for those who need it. The school offers a site for parents to view their childs progress in each class. It shows what their grades are and any missing assignments they need to do. They have a great pta who work on a lot of fundraising to help the school with whatever they might need to support the kids. Great school!”
