De Pere Middle School

Every teacher and staff member at the school has been so accommodating ! My son needed speech therapy and they truly worked with him until there was no speech issue whatsoever .

The ladies at the front desk are awful to deal with. They are rude and patronizing. I pulled my student from this school for many reasons. They are one of them. I do not recommend this school if you have a medically fragile or anxious child. They do not accommodate parents or students for any reason whatsoever. The bus/pick up/parking situation is laughable as well with no solution ever considered.

My two children with IEPs are well served at Westwood. The school is reasonably diverse with top notch academics. They have a great athletic department (particularly the wrestling and baseball teams), with solid extra curricular offerings (we enjoy Cub Scouts). The PTO is active and positive. My favorite offering is a new 4K wrap around program! My youngest child enjoys the structure for half the day, and play the other half. Truly I only have wonderful things to say about Westwood, I highly recommend. I see why the housing market in West De Pere is higher valued!

My daughter was beat up by a boy on the playground, he is a kid that always got into trouble for violence and they let him be with other kids! They said it was my daughter ‘s fault because she threw a snowball (playing) at his arm. She told us when she got home they didn’t even call! We took her out of that school that day! We asked what was done and they admitted that they didn’t bring him to the office just her to tell her she shouldn’t throw snowballs at him! No consequences for him at all for beating another child! The principal wouldn’t let us see the video either. Obviously the teachers weren’t watching because he held her down and beat her! My daughter has a learning disability and it took them a year and a half to actually get her help even though we kept asking. Her teacher let the kids talk about their elf on the shelf and she told my daughter her elf was fake! Kids would bully my daughter and the counselor said kill them with kindness and did nothing! My daughter was slapped on the face by a boy and told the bus driver, bus driver said tell your teacher, teacher said tell your bus driver! This school is horrible just like the school district. I worked for Green Bay’s school district so I know what goes on. If I would’ve known about how bad it was I would’ve moved somewhere else! They are shutting down Green Bay schools because everyone is fleeing to other districts! I tried to move my daughter a year in but every district was full! I even looked an hour away…full! Don’t send your kids to (GBAPS) Green Bay Area Public Schools and definitely not Langlade Elementary! My daughter came home crying EVERYDAY it was a nightmare! She is at a new school now, we moved out of state and her new school is 10k times better!

From the moment we walked through the doors, we knew this school was something special and the right fit for us. What sets this school apart isn't just the education, it's the genuine sense of family that permeates everything they do. In a world where schools can feel large and impersonal, this community is a true breath of fresh air. The faith and values woven into daily life here are authentic, not just a selling point. Our children are growing not only academically, but in character, kindness, and purpose. The school's Catholic identity is lived out in meaningful ways, from how staff treat families to how students treat one another. The teachers here are exceptional. You can tell they chose this school because they believe in its mission, not just as a job. The community itself is tight-knit in the best possible way. Parents, teachers, and staff all feel like partners in raising these kids.
