As someone who graduated on June 2024, it not the most perfect school but it have it pros and cons.

I heard a student was beaten unconscious in their gymnasium by another student in 2019. Apparently, the victim was minding his own business in gym class when an older boy approached him from behind and punched him in the back of the head so hard he collapsed. That boy still suffers from neurophysical changes and the administration won't discuss the event with us, or even confirm whether charges are filed with the police for this savage beating of my son.

I like that the teachers never give up on students and they have some great teachers. Even though we may bump heads, we also come together as a family in the end and support each other in our goals.

For all that posted positive comments about WS, thank you!!! For the negative posting, what are you doing to assist or correct the problems. If parents aren't involved, what can we do to assist the school with getting the deadbeat parents involved. A school is what parents make it. If no involvement...
