Wilbur Wright Middle School in Munster, Indiana

“A quality school but if your kid is not in the honors track--good luck! From my experiences, I've seen many kids who are hard workers, get A's, want to be challenged but unfortunately are a low priority at Administration Bldg with Maureen Stafford - Kids might still get their A's but do not expect a lot of writing assignments in HS. Only the Language Honors track will get the best, more challenging teachers. They do offer a 'high' track for math. This allows the kids to do math one year ahead (same as honors) but at a slower pace. I think the same should be done for the Language department at both the MS and HS. The parents' in Munster definitely contribute positively to the school's overall reputation. We spend a lot of time and $ getting outside help by tutoring our kids to keep them college and grade competitive.”

“I cannot stand this school! My son has a problem with math and the state was called in to evaluate him. He was promised certain accomadations regarding math, and no one has followed it. I feel no one cares and I can't wait to get out of this school. My son deserves better, and it's not this school. They cater only to kids whose parents are involved, have money, and then the families that are blue collar, forget it! It's who you know!! Not a quality school!”

“I really like going to WWMS. The teachers there are great and the kids are pretty cool to, although there are some weird kids, everyone is pretty nice to each other. I am amazed to learn that our basic classes are Honors classes in other schools. I am really enjoying 7th grade and I don't want this year to end.”

“My 3 children have attended WWMS I am so very impressed with the leadership of the administration. I have seen very young teachers grow into professionals and the leadership and support they receive from their principal is apparent. Parent concerns are always addressed. There is also a genuine concern for the student both intellectually and socially. Middle School years can be tough but are made easier in such an environment.”

“Some of the teacher's methods are archaic and out of date...if you have an innovative indepedent student...they are not supportive of trying to finds ways for the stimulation of such a child. Standarized tests are the main focus not the student. Socially, it's been a nightmare for my eighth-grader. I cannot wait until May to be out of this school.”

“The level of teacher participation is next to none. We have been at this school for three years and it just gets worse with each passing year. There have been so many inappropriate comments made to my child and other children by teachers, office staff and counselors. I have a whole new outlook on teachers and school systems because of it. I urge parents if you are dealing with this school system to talk to your children. Find out what is really going on. I could go on forever. If you aren't a 'chosen one' forget in this school system.”

“This is an excellent school. My child is currently enrolled there. The effort made by the teachers for my childs success is something I have never seen before. My child was not doing well at the begining of the school year and without even so much as consulting me the counslor and the teacher took it upon themselves to make sure he got back on track. They didn't need to be told by me how to do there jobs. There are plenty of extracurricular activities for them to get involved with.”

“This school has extracurricular activities, but are very clickish. The Parents are involved, and they blame low state scores blamed on the special education children. Homework hotlines very often connects to the wrong boxes or are not updated frequently. If you ask teachers to help you get your children more on task, for example, to please have a list of assignments (since you can't get it off the hotline) for you to pick up so you know your child is doing the work in and out of the educational environment, you are told they can't do that because their are too many children in the school and in their class and what if everyone wanted to do that? Halls are noisy and filled with swearing. Certain children are ignored when they act out and no effort is made to teach them.”
