I would recommend taking your child elsewhere if the option is available. Children with Any need beyond the general education classroom will need to be followed up on several times a year. We have had multiple situations with the staff and administration with failure to follow our child's IEP. The principle MS. West will disproportionately suspend certain groups of children and skirt around federal, state and county policy with zero recourse.

WONDERFUL! My child attended 4-6th grade here. She was involved in Beta Club and the National Honor Society. In addition the teachers and staff are wonderful and really listen to what you have to say.

Anybody who tells you this school is great is half correct. They don't, however, tell you the dark side of it. The Harrison County District is pretty good, don't get me wrong. Keep doing your job. WHHS is one of the top choices you would take your child into if you are trying to get them into the Harrison County District. The teachers are nice and sweet (an exceptional amount of them), but there are some that won't even help you because of that one phrase "Well, you should've been paying attention." It doesn't matter if the student was paying attention or not, it is your job to teach these kids, no matter how much they get on your nerves. You signed up for the job, so what's the problem?Another is the racism. Now, this school is not serious about it at all. They tell you they will do something about it, but never do. I get so many complaints from my friends about this school and how they handle racism. It is way too normalized there. They don't recognize their problems, but the minute someone points it out they are so quick to silence them and make them suffer. I have heard multiple people in class laughing or playing around wen we talk about something serious. Nobody does anything, because they are afraid they'll be bashed for it. Even the teachers don't step in. This needs t be fixed IMMEDIATELY.Lastly, slurs. This connects to racism but on a different level. This is also normalized. People say words that are derogatory towards people of gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, race, and sex. It makes people feel like they are below the person and it's the reason why people, like LBTQ+ people, is afraid of being open to their friends or parents today. The students, even teachers, judge people based on the way they look, and although it seems like they help you, you never know what they say behind your back. There is such thing as insecurity, and bringing people down does NOT make it any better.The way this school handles problems is not at all fair. This school is great, but they need to do one thing:RECOGNIZE.Thank you.
