William Henry Middle School
this was a good school at one point in time. unfortunitly, the kids have seem to have gotten worse. i have a son who goes there and i have to say, im not impressed at all. i had to go into the school in order to get ahold of the principal. the teachers try their best to control the kids but in my opion some kids need a good ass whooping from home (sorry if i offended anyone) if a child is allowed to hit another student in the head enough to give the child a concussion then he should be kicked out of for more then one day. just my opnion

To Ashamed: I am not impressed with this school @ all. Only a few teachers in that school really cars about the students. The Principle is never available. The building is horrible inside & out. I would not recommend anyone to this school. The only reason why my son is in this school because the Charters Schools are all filled. I you really want your child to get a good education don't send them there. But, if you need to teach your child how the fight and defend themselves then send them to William Henry.

So far, I have been very impressed with my daughters experience there. Teachers are suppose to impart knowledge as well as nurture and build young children's minds and emotions. I am happy to share that my daughter feels safe, and excited to learn. We are pleased with William Henry!
