In my experience as an alumnus of the school, i would say... there were some teachers that cared... and there's most of them who didn't including the principal... the quality of education was terrible when I attended from 94-97.. the athletic department sucked as well up until 1997 when our basketball team finally made it to the 4A state championship and finished as runner-ups.. Anyways, the teachers and subs were just there to get paid.. i watched a teacher when I was a senior in algebra 2/triganometry class working on his golf swing as he was prepping for retirement or something lol.Fights were always happening during lunch or after school.. I hated the school to the core.. i was a track runner at the time and Bowie, Eleanor Roosevelt or Suitland HS could've used some talent like me

This is one of the worse elementary schools I have come in contact with. In only the first year of my child attending this school she has been exposed to several illnesses and dangers. There was a lice outbreak in which parents were not notified till weeks after. This was the same for illness outbreaks as well, my daughter would come home sick and announcements of outbreaks were posted days later. The parking situation is horrible and very overwhelming. There is never parking available and the streets are dangerous(which i’m sure contributed to the TWO YOUNG LIVES THAT WERE TAKEN on the sidewalk which surrounds the school. On top of this they are strict and unreasonable about PARENTS entering the school. I attempted to drop off my child off with cupcakes and goodie bags for her birthday and I was denied entry. I AM THE MOTHER of the child and was denied entry to drop off goodies for her BIRTHDAY. Additionally, I was only notified two days in advance of my daughter’s promotion in which I was required to dress her in a certain color and had to emergency ask off from work already having an infant at home. Day of promotion I was given two tickets only. I was no informed about an infant being required a ticket ESPECIALLY since they did not allow me to enter with a stroller or car seat. My older daughter and infant baby were forced to stay behind because my infant counted as a person despite not being physically able to sit in a chair. The cherry on top of all of this is while my daughter and I discussed who would enter the promotion, I was met with a rude and disrespectful attitude. The staff at the doors Word for WORD in the most disgusting tone said “ so are you coming inside because we are starting”. This is the worse elementary school ever and I have TWO OLDER DAUGHTERS which are now fully adults. I have never had such a negative experience. I will be doing all in my power to remove my daughter from this school because these moral and values are not one that I have time to deal with nor do I want instilled in my child. Do better.

I used to be former Student Over there at William Wirt Middle School. Overall its an amazing school! Got to see many new experience, this school was very fun at my Middle School time. Teacher were so chill and nice and teached very well, they made everything in a productive way. Got to go on many field trips and also celebrated alot of things. Ms. Similey was a principle that always wanted to see her students have a smile on there face and always want them to have a good time, same goes to the assitance principles. Overall an amazing school very productive, very safe, and very encourage. I recommend alot this Middle School, they well make you feel welcomed.
