WMHS is not a very good school in my opinion. The education system is lacking in all areas. I am a sophomore this year and when I talk to sophomores from other schools, they have already learned what I am learning now, earlier on in their schooling.

As a former student, I would like it to be noted that I am writing coherant English. I can tie my shoes, balance my checkbook, and use a semicolon. SAT score: 1210. I am not a failure of the educational system. When I met Ms. Morris-Quartz, she had a ladder over her shoulder, and paint can in hand,

This, I kept with me through all other frustrations, because her good intentions were so materially there to begin with. This school is a work in progress. I think that she tried too much, too fast, and lost control of it. I would have done no better myself. Also, despite all my griping while I was there, the most important thing is that I had teacher-friends right there griping with me. WMHS can be good for you. In a brocolli kind of way. Read less

I worked at this school over five years ago and I did not like the way things were handled then. Behavioral students were not dealt with. Unfortunately, my son decided to go there this year. He is a freshmen. I was very apprehensive. The smaller numbers in classes has been great for him. The teachers

The communication is lacking, they don't offer enough extra curricular activities and they shouldn't offer core 9 and 10. Overall I am trying to adjust, but my son seems happy. I hope he will get a good education from this school. Read less

As a parent of two children one in the Elm. one in the High School I have to say that my overall feeling of this school is somewhat mixed.I feel all of the teachers that I have had the pleasure of meeting are Wonderful,loving,qualified teachers!

The Teachers thus far receive an A+++ from me. I do feel the school needs great repair and I am glad the bond passed. Ms.Kortz has been helpful also in my experiences.I do wish the teachers had more time for parent/teacher meetings however they are only one person teaching appx.70 children a day! Please understand they cant sit by the phone waiting for you to call! Read less

I guess all schools have their problems and I do not make enough to be able to send my children to private schools, I not sure that I would anyway. The kids in all my children s classes are very close and so are the parents. At least we re close enough to know each others names. The 2 main concerns

Marketing researchers will tell you that it is usually the unhappy people who voice their opinions, and that certainly seems to be the case here.

I have seen many changes over the years, and I have to say that the vast majority were for the better. THe inclusion of online class alternatives has been very beneficial for those students who don't like the limited offerings of this small school. The so-called 'core' classes are also designed to adapt to kids' respective learning styles. Unfortunately, this didn't pan out so well for one of my kids, in '04-'05. But we're still trying to figure out why. I have found the principal fairly receptive to my questions and concerns. Let's hope the town passes the bond for building improvements: we really need them.

Williamstown Middle/High School isn't as bad as everyone says it is. It's really unfortunate that such bad things have been said about the principal. She is a hard worker and has to deal with many more issues then anyone realizes. Frankly, the participation of the parents is the real problem. They

The physical appearance of the school is totally up to the town because they are the ones who won't fund repairs, not the principle. The principle wanted to get us a new school, but the town refused. Over all Williamstown is a good school, and will continue to improve. Read less

* In 2008-2009 Vermont used the New England Common Assessment Program (NECAP) to test students in grades 3 through 8 and 11 in reading and math, and grades 5, 8 and 11 in writing. The results for all elementary and middle school grades are combined and displayed on GreatSchools profiles as Elementary & Middle School results. Grade 11 results are displayed as High School results. The NECAP is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Vermont. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level on the test.
