Stay clear from this school!!!!! The best way to picture the dynamics is to compare it to the scene in Mean Girls when the school turns into a jungle. This school is poorly ran, the current principal and higher up staff are a joke for lack of better word. There are fights every single day, horrible behavioral problems with the students and little to no action from staff. My child has had so many issues in this school and the staff is non-responsive until you're pretty much cussing them out. This school is a mess! Unless you have absolutely no other options do not send you child here!

My kid has been going to Whittier for a few years, and our experience has been very positive. Whittier has great teachers and staff, provides many opportunities for student learning (including after school programs, music lessons, and summer camp), and has many family events. We have had a great experience sending my kid here. We are very happy with their education and what they've learned. My only issues were that MPS Kids no longer offers after school care here, but that is mainly substituted by the after school programs and the community center for older kids. The community center connected to the school is great and offers many great activities for kids in the neighborhood (things like art projects, drones, skateboarding, ice skating, archery, etc.) If you're worried about Whittier having a bad rating, I'd encourage you to visit the school and get to know the staff. We're very happy we selected Whittier, especially being it's out community school and we've enjoyed getting to know the other families that live in our area.
