This school lack proper teaching to prepare kids for the next grade. The kids are bullies and the teachers have favoritism towards the children. All the African American students face discrimination and it’s known in the community not to attend this school. My child would come home with scratches on her face and they broke her favorite water bottle then lied about it but refused camera footage. The kinder teacher was extremely mean and Im still furious about the situation. They cater to white families and the school has low percentage of diversity.

Conselyea Preparatory School MS 577 is a very good Middle School that has caring teachers and staff. Our daughter has excel in the 3 years she has been in this school. The school has done a great job with online learning during the pandemic. The only thing will be that our daughter will not have the memories of prom and graduation ceremony after working hard due to the pandemic but she is learning to stay strong and grateful during this time.

Hello, I'm currently an 11th grader here at WP in the year of our lord and savior: 2024, and overall-while I do admit there are certainly problems-my experience here have been overall positive. For me, the best part of the school is the general atmosphere and sense of community. There are plenty of students and staff who seem to genuinely care about the school and the people within it. Of course, there are many students who don't care or don't put in the effort necessary to do the work, however, there are just as many, if not more who are kind; caring, and want to help others. The school makes a point to encourage students who are doing well to help other both in the community, be it through students ambassadors, the ship awards, volunteer club, college vanguard, and so much more. In terms of work load, I wouldn't say that the work is ever overbearing to the point of absurdity, more so, it can pile up quickly if you allow it, especially if you're taking multiple AP classes such as myself. There have been points when it became a bit much, however, if you manage your time well, and depending on the class and if you ask for help from those around you, the work can go by quickly. That is to say: the main question isn't how much work there is (generally speaking) but moreso how well you can keep up and manage the work you are given. The school also offers a variety of programs for any student willing to participate, being partnered with Global Glimpse, SEO, College Now, The National Honor Society, and more. Furthermore, the school is very focused on preparing you for college, with plenty of AP-Classes, programs, study groups, trips, and a college councilor who'll assist you through the entire college application process. the school-at least currently-even pays for all, or at least most of the expenses for applying to colleges, a rarity for other schools. Overall, it all comes back to the community. The school heavily encourages you to do more and ask for things, it's rather easy to make clubs, become a TA, or ask for new courses, including AP classes. All that's nof even to mention the sports teams and other related fields. To all future WP students and parents, my biggest recommendation would be to do more than is necessary if possible, because there are plenty of great opportunities for you if you don't, regardless of race, sex, gender, political views, disabilities, or any other differentiating characteristics. With that said, good luck and thank you.
