York Middle School

I've been increasingly frustrated with my son's school, particularly the dynamics within Team 7-2. It's disheartening to witness what seems like a disproportionate focus on managing classroom chatter rather than addressing real issues of bullying. What's even more concerning is the role of one of the teachers, Wanda Walker Gary, who appears to be contributing to a negative atmosphere. Her constant reshuffling of students is creating a toxic environment that's affecting my son's overall experience.There have been troubling incidents that my son has shared with me, and one involving Wanda is particularly unsettling. He recounted a situation where a girl needed to use the bathroom to change her pad, but despite repeated requests, Wanda denied her permission. The girl eventually walked out, only to receive a write-up for "being disrespectful" and leaving without permission. It's deeply concerning that basic needs are being neglected, and the punitive response is disheartening.What adds to the confusion is Wanda's inconsistent approach to seeking help. On one hand, she encourages students to ask their peers for assistance, but on the other, she reprimands them for doing so. This contradictory guidance is not only perplexing for the students but also creates an atmosphere of uncertainty and stress.I want my son to thrive in a positive learning environment, but it feels like Team 7-2 is inadvertently causing unnecessary stress and problems. I believe it's crucial for the school administration to be aware of these specific incidents so that they can thoroughly examine and rectify these issues. Open communication is key, and I hope that addressing these concerns will contribute to creating a more supportive and conducive learning environment for all students in Team 7-2.

many bullies, teachers do nothing about it. they care more about phones then bullying

heath is bad but overall great .

Things have changed since these reviews were written I see. I am a parent of a student of YMS and I can promise you the teachers are more bad than good. The school is unorganized to say the least. There are some good teachers, but the bad outweigh the good. The principle takes the bully approach to try to teach the children a lesson. And with his size, its easy to see how he does it. I'll be so glad to get my child out of this school!

The teachers are nice and fair. They communicate often with parents. The office staff is welcoming.
