GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time here was a mix of "why am I here" and "I love this place" and although it was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, I made relationships here (none of them lasted though). Wagner is a pretty average school, mid even. It is very crowded with nearly 1.5k students (the most populous middle school in New York) so the grades are large and finding friends might be difficult however it offers one a chance to find new people to talk to everyday because of the variety.

A large community that is full of students with diverse experiences. The teachers all care about their kids and do their best.

My son attends Wager and has really blossomed as a student. He has an academic identity that I definitely attribute to his time at Wagner. His teachers seem to push him in the right ways. He has moved into advanced Math and is considering other accelerated classes next year. He feels confident now a...

I am personally a very anxious person. So this school knowing how big it is kind of was a bit stressful. But I have never witnessed bullying. I have witnessed huge fights though. The learning is not amazing so far, but that is only in my math class. Other wise I have learned many important skills so...
