I'm an eighth grader at WHMS and I've had an over all great three years there. The councelors helped me through the toughest of times, 75% of the teachers are a joy to be taught by, and the kids 90% of the time get along. Sure, there's bumps along the road ith 11-14 year olds, but seriously, what

I have a daughter who just graduated from White Hill and who had a wonderful experience. I found teachers dedicated and always open to communication. Overall, I think academically this is a very good school for those students who function well in a traditional setting. Now my son is a 6th grader at
... Read more White Hill and in only 2 weeks, racist comments directed to him by students. I am giving White Hill a good rating because I don't think the school is responsible for racist comments that come out of a student's mouth. My son has been experiencing anti-Latino commentary since he started at Manor School. My feeling is that the few kids who've made the comments lack social awareness and are being taught to hate. The RSVD should implement a social awareness unit into the curriculum. Ultimately that could only help everyone including my son. Read less

I am a parent of a White Hill student and I have to say that I am very impressed with the staff and student body of White Hill. I do not believe that the previous comments about it being a punitive school are fair or accurate. I have found every teacher my son has had to be extraordinarily dedicated

There have been many hands-on projects, historical reenactment days, a strong music and art program, and now clubs that offer a wide variety of enriching activities. Middle school can be a difficult time with all the pressures on students socially and academically. White Hill supported our family in the best possible way. It is a safe, engaging, positive school. I highly recommend White Hill to anyone. Read less

This school, with the exception of the school nurse, a few teachers and the counselors my son had during his time there, was a terrible experience for my son. I found a majority of the students to be mean spirited. The woman who works the front office and after school traffic seems miserable and was

The Principle, V.P. and most of the teachers he had where intimidating, condescending and unfairly biased toward particular students, my son being one of them. Specially during his first 2 yrs (he was diagnosed with ADHD halfway through his first year there). There is more focus on punishing, just as the student has said in the 2/19/08 posted review.

Overall atmosphere is one of caring and protectiveness. This is not an urban, intimidating middleschool, but one in which a 6th grader can feel comfortable and an 8th grader overprotected, which is fine with me. Kids are happy, goofy, and seem well-cared for. The academics are as challenging as necesssary

This was by far the worst school I have ever gone too, and I can't imagine much worse. The faculty focused mostly on how they could punish you giving you actual grades on your behavior. I honestly don't remember learning anything and if there was ever anything to discourage my learning process, it was
