West Chatham Middle School
This school is nasty, filthy, broke, and waaay to strict. it was a big downgrade from my old middle school.

West Chatham Middle School
My child also could not focus on his school work. He went from an Honor Roll student to failing. Also he could not stay out of trouble. This school is pathetic! There is no guidence or stucture. Withdrew my child and began home schooling. He seems so much happier now and his attitude at home has improved tremendously!!!

West Chatham Middle School
Very Poor, Not Clean, No Lockers, Bath Rooms not clean, garbage all over, water fountains you don't want to touch. My child is very unhappy there and can't focus on the work. My child went from A's to D's when we came to this school. I would not recommend this school!
