Because it is such a small school, especially in middle school everybody knows everyone because the in only 1 class per grade and the biggest class in middle school in 7th grade (20 people). That being said, if you don't like one person in your class you don't have them for just Math or something, no you see them all day every day. Most of the teachers are great (in middle school at least) I don't think that one person dislikes the Social Studies/Drama teacher or the ELA teacher and her Intern. The only people I have a problem with are the Math teacher and the Librarian, now I know because I put myself as a current student you will think I'm dramatic but NO! I'm not kidding when I say not one person out of all of middle school likes the math teacher and the Librarian, I mean it. But other than that, I have no complaints really about the school.

It’s me, the one who wrote the huge review about community college son, editors please go ahead and take that down because it won’t let me

The current principal and staff are phenomenal. Also, the library should be in magazines. This is a wonderful, caring, community oriented school. I feel very lucky that my kids get to go here!

My daughter had 2 terrible years at Whitman. She went in from private school with strong academics, and was always a thriving student being challenged and encouraged daily. Whitman changed that for the worst.She is now unmotivated, doesn't enjoy going to school, and the electives choice is just a joke. She asked for visual arts 2 years in a row and got turned down every time. Now they give her walking PE. They swapped arts for walking PE? Make that make sense. The stem teacher is amazing, but we were promised a wonderful new stem curriculum this year, students were even encouraged to take stem again to benefit from it - but it did not happen. And families weren't notified either, so she had to do the exact same curriculum this year.There is 0 communication with parents on those issues, and it is clear the admin has better things to do.I would disregard the aging building and lack of inviting amenities if at least the academics and electives were up to par with the other middle school I visited this month.Trust me, there are way better options out there.
