Boswell is a great school! The academics are amazing. The counselors stay on top of their students to make sure they are working hard and excelling.They have had many more fights this past year than they have before where it involved weapons and for that reason we took our kids out early on those days for safety reasons.Now if you want your child involved in sports, Boswell is hard to get into sports. It is all about politics and who you know here. You have to be with the in-crowd or friends with the coaches or on select teams even to make the cut. It is like that for volleyball, baseball, basketball and football. It has discouraged a lot of kids from participating in school activities as well as functions. There are a lot of kids with a lot of talent but they can't showcase it because they never make it past the "tryouts".

My experience with Wayside Middle School has been so far, so good. We recently moved into the new building this year- it's cool with its white walls, clear glass, and blue here and there for Wayside - and I can say that my teachers and counselors, especially the ones who have been teaching for quite a few years, are amazing in their personality and patience. Like any teacher should, if a kid has a genuine question about their work, they'll guide you. School IDs are mandatory for students, which obviously helps adults find intruders. They have stairs designated for up and down to help traffic. Okay, quite a few kids cuss, but there are still genuinely kind people you can find (kids and teacher alike), so just wisely choose which conversations and friends you want to be involved in. Pretty much all adults know when to get angry, from what I've seen, so they can't be called "mean." Overall, it's a matter of the people you meet and rules you are under that makes your experience at Wayside, or at any other school, beneficial and awesome for you and your legal guardians.

great school, good faculty, and very caring
