Feeney is a horrible person. Schools here went down hill fast

During the three years I've attended Wilmington Middle School, I have never been more miserable. There is an outrageous amount of favoritism and the only way to get anywhere is to be super athletic. Even then, you think your child is a good athlete? Not if they don't have a certain last name. You better be related to someone working in the school district, otherwise you're screwed. Say one thing to a teacher's daughter or neice and their friends, you'll have a detention. If they say something to you nothing will be done.They say the school has a 0% bullying tollerance, but they get to pick and choose when they actually want to enforce it. I would like to add a positive to this review, but it seems there are none. The food is terrible. Academic achievements are under recognized and unutallized. After school events such as clubs are no exception from favoritism, either. Not to mention the lack of diversity in them. You can get into literally anything by saying you couldn't do it last year due to a sport.If you were looking to send your child into a situation where their teachers will humiliate them and render their feelings and emotions useless, Wilmington is the place for you. If you have common sense and want your child to feel safe, you should really check neighboring cities. Most are big, beautiful and very well taken care of unlike those of Wilmington.

The only improvement i can see that the school needs is a swimming pool. The children would benefit greatly i believe, swimming helps burn fat, it would be beneficial to their health!
