We are nearing the end of the 6th grade at Edgewood and did not think I could be more disappointed than I was at the end of the 5th grade. There is absolutely no support for children migrating into the middle school from the elementary school. The transition into a middle school program is huge and very little support is given. They are expected to be organized and sit in classrooms the same as 7th and 8th graders, which is absolutely ridiculous. There is no personalized teaching to help kids who learn differently (not read a book write a paper child) and actually they are punished and dismissed as if their learning is a hassle to have to even teach them. I have reached out numerous times to teachers, counselors, and principals over the last two years with nothing more than my child just needs to try harder. No suggestions on a tutor or ways I can provide more support at home or that the school can provide. It doesn't help that in two years there has been 4 different principals... I don't know what is happening in this school but the board needs to stop turning a blind eye and actually make some changes. The elementary schools are great and over communicate, even the HS communicates and provides additional resources and support for students struggling so I do not understand why it is not the same in the MS. We are currently looking at different options next year, however, switching schools and having a child make new friends at this age can be just as challenging as succeeding academically. If we had the chance to re-do 5th grade and 6th grade we would of definitely open enrolled into a different district.

My children are new to Kean this year, and the staff has been so welcoming. They have really made them feel so loved in their new school.

This school does offer a lot of other electives/ education opprutiunties than other schools but that doesnt make up about how horrible the staff and the other students are if you want a good education but want your kid to be bullied for being a little bit diffrent , wooster is the school for you
