William Floyd Middle School

Horrible school for children who have IEPs, staff is very unprofessional and have no communication skills. The principal doesnt care about any of our concerns. We have felt so helpless. DO NOT RECOMMEND !

Before enrolling, the existing reviews were a warning sign, and in hindsight they were far more accurate than expected. The school may work if your child starts in PK and moves up within the system, but for families transferring in later, especially from outside the area, the experience can be extremely difficult.From the very beginning, enrollment and onboarding were disorganized and confusing. There was little to no meaningful guidance, and the staff seemed to assume that families already knew all of the routines, expectations, and unwritten rules, even when nothing had been clearly explained. When questions were asked, the responses often felt dismissive, as if you were the problem for not already understanding how everything worked.Socially, the environment was just as discouraging. Because so many students had been together since PK, tight-knit cliques were already firmly established, and new students were treated as outsiders rather than welcomed in. Instead of helping classmates include someone new, there seemed to be little adult awareness or intervention when kids were snobby, unkind, or picked on a child who was still trying to adjust.Communication was another major issue. Important information was either sent late, inconsistently, or not at all, which made it nearly impossible to keep a new student on track. Rather than supporting the transition, the overall tone from the faculty came across as impatient and uninterested in helping a child who needed a bit more guidance.The classroom experience itself was also deeply disappointing. The homeroom teacher often appeared checked out and exhausted, more like someone trying to get through the day than someone engaged in teaching or supporting students. That lack of visible engagement set the tone for the entire year and made the classroom feel like an unhappy and unwelcoming environment.If you are a new family moving into the area or considering a mid-year or mid-grade transfer, think very carefully before choosing this school. The combination of poor onboarding, weak communication, an unfriendly social climate for new students, and what felt like a burned-out teaching environment led to a negative experience that ultimately ended with withdrawing our child.

My child LOVES going to school everyday. Talks about all the teachers not just his classroom teacher which is nice. It feels like a family like school. He comes home reciting the bible verses singing all the songs. Love that it’s a small setting which help the teachers spend more one-on-one time with each student. For sure small is better
