As an educational consultant with 30 years of experience and the parent of two boys who graduated from Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School, I could not be more impressed with the school. Professionally and personally, I have seen what excellent middle level education looks like, and Weber embodies it.The teachers are caring, attentive, and deeply skilled. They do not simply deliver lessons. They cultivate curiosity and invite students into real dialogue. My boys learned how to ask good questions, challenge ideas respectfully, and support their thinking with evidence. Differentiation is not an add on here. Teachers adjust instruction, provide timely feedback, and make space for every learner to grow at an appropriate pace.The administration is truly student centered. They know children by name, not number, and they invest in the whole child. I saw thoughtful decisions around course placement, enrichment, and support, always anchored in what would help each student thrive. Communication with families is clear and proactive, and the leadership team manages the school with steadiness and care. As someone who has worked with many schools, I can say their oversight of teaching and learning is excellent.Weber also understands that education extends beyond the classroom. Extracurriculars, clubs, service opportunities, and the arts are encouraged and well run. This gives students pathways to connect with peers, discover new interests, and participate in a welcoming community that reflects the diversity of Port Washington. My boys found activities that matched their strengths and also tried new ones, which built confidence and empathy.Most important, Weber prepared my sons to excel at Schreiber High School and beyond. They entered high school ready for rigorous coursework, equipped with strong study habits, clear writing, and real problem solving skills. They knew how to advocate for themselves, collaborate with classmates, and manage their time. Those habits have continued to serve them in later endeavors.If you are looking for a school where caring adults challenge students to think, speak, and grow, Carrie Palmer Weber Middle School deserves your highest consideration. As both a seasoned educator and a grateful parent, I offer my wholehearted recommendation. My boys carry lasting lessons from their years at Weber, and I am deeply thankful for the foundation it provided.

The new principal has done a great job of reaching out to parents and making families feel involved in their child's education. The staff overall are extremely pleasant, friendly and treat the children like their own.
