3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was dragged through the Wareham school system from Kindergarten, all the way through graduation. I was also bullied from kindergarten, all the way through graduation. Teachers, staff, guidance counselors, and the school disciplinary officers were all aware. Nothing was ever done to rectify the issue. In fact, an “I didn’t see it, so it didn’t happen,” attitude was adopted by the lot. As an adult, after finally seeking out the screening I needed through my entire school experience, I’ve also come to learn that while this school would lead everyone to believe “I simply wasn’t applying myself, and wasn’t exercising critical thinking skills,” I’m autistic, suffer from dyslexia and dyscalculia, and struggle with executive dysfunction. Multiple learning disabilities required accommodation, and an adapted learning structure, that I never had access to. This resulted in my failing math yearly from third grade on. A failure to understand homework, which I would be punished for my inability to do. As well as having no understanding of study, or organization skills, which, rather than doing their jobs and teaching me, I was routinely berated for. As an adult with proper support, I have learned more than I forgot while I was in school. My experience with Wareham High school, and the Wareham school system as a whole, amounts to 14 years of wasted time.Other Review1y ago - Wareham Middle School
