my main issue with the school is too much unsupervised time where kids have the opportunity to bully and no one seems to do anything about it. My child is bullied mainly on the bus. She says the bus driver plays music so loud she doesn't hear what is going on. A lot also goes on in the lunch room and on the play ground. I don't think the new principal has a clue. She has a great teacher and is learning in the classroom but does not want to go to school because of problems with other students.

Pretty bad school. Mid funding so not the worst looking school but they offer NOTHING fun to do, no game nights, the environment and vibe is ugly and super grim, theres no courtyard hangout area vending machine dark room or anything it sucks. The staff in my opinion has a bias against students who arent white males, I once had an emergency and told them that very clearly and the staff did nothing. I have type 1 diabetes and my level was low which could cause me to pass out go into a coma or die, and the staff refused to let me into the school because I "didn't have a pass" I got a pass and they still refused to let me in. The staff doesnt care or make exceptions for geniune emergencies and they generally make everything impossibly annoying for the students. You're done with regents? nah cant go home no busses to take you home and if you go home you're gonna fail, oh you wanna walk around during study hall or when you have lunch? Nope cant do that either you cant even hangout. You need a pass just to be in lunch and they'll mark you late for lunch, you need an ID to GET INTO THE CAFERTERIA, no not the school, THE CAFETERIA, you cant make this up! Knowing this school theyd probably revoke your diploma just cause you didnt shake the principals hand when walking across the creaky stage.

Wonderful small school with incredible staff! Both of my chick seen attended Vassar and they both had great experiences that have them their needed foundations and prepared them for more intense work at the higher grade levels.

My son has had an amazing transition to Wapp Jr. The teachers have been extremely helpful and supportive.
