The school is diverse and the administration encourages collaboration between families and staff. My children were in the dual language program from Kindergarten to 8th grade and graduated being bilingual. Parents need to also do the work and encourage their children to speak Spanish outside of school. There is a thriving Nest program for children on the autism spectrum. The Principal makes decisions based on student needs. Your child will be safe, love school and flourish at PS84!

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.
