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.

It was a great experience , I attended from 6th to 8th grade. Teachers are nice and fun. I went through some really hard times in my life while going there, and the guidance counselor as well as professors really helped me out and made me feel better. The school itself is very nice and organized, in a good area. I enjoyed my time there, and the teachers really helped me reach my academic goals.

It has good teachers but it has also become a school filled with drugs due to the high school right next to the school

I attended Walter C. Young Middle school for my 6th-8th grade education. Walter isn't an above average middle school, aside from a handful of exemplary teachers and staff, everything just meets the bare minimum. I did, however, learn that no matter what is presented to you, you still need to work hard and accomplish everything and anything you want in life.

This is not a middle school campus, this is a street fight campus. And yes I am not exaggerating… 2 - 3 times a week at least (big ones, Bc some “light” ones it’s every single day), they post the videos, it’s ridiculous. Bully is something else in a different level, it’s horrible. Parents please che...

I went to this school for my 6th grade and moved near the end of the year. My personal experience for the short time I was at this school was great. I made lots of friends, felt supported academically, emotionally, and mentally, and had great opportunities for progressing in learning environments. T...
