Mrs.dumphy favorites Students that's specifically boys, one time I raised my hand and answer but she ignored me and looked at the boy, and the boy said the same answer as me. And she praised him, she literally looked at me and ignored me. And a barely even teaches us art. But ms. Leon is very good teacher she teaches English and she's very funny and a very good teacher to have in the school. The students are very bad and they say slurs and offendeds me. read more

Waite Nettie L Middle School - The reason why this school is ass - Elementary Schools Near Me - Norwalk, California

This incident occurred in October 2021, and it reflects serious concerns about student safety and how issues are handled at this school. My son was bullied by another student who also encouraged others to join in. He was pushed, dragged, hit, and even had his shoe taken off and thrown. When we reported this, the response from Vice Principal Jenny Amaya was extremely disappointing. She dismissed the situation by saying my son was "being annoying," which is not an acceptable justification for physical bullying. What made the situation worse is that the vice principal had my child change his statement without my authorization. She essentially coached him on what to say, and the revised statement appeared to minimize what happened and protect the school. This is where everything escalated and became even more concerning. There also appeared to be a conflict of interest, as the student who initiated the bullying was reportedly related to the vice principal. This raises concerns about fairness and whether the situation was handled objectively. At the time, the school also had a new principal who seemed unaware of what was going on, and no meaningful action was taken. I reported the issue to the district, but nothing was done. The lack of accountability and follow-through is very concerning. Overall, this experience left us feeling that the school does not provide a safe or supportive environment for all students. I hope improvements are made so that no other family has to go through a similar situation. Some teachers are great! read more

Waite middle school was such an experience. This was my first year attending here. I was so excited because it was the first time in forever since I went to an IRL school. But my expectations weren't met. I don't know why I expected anything from this school anyways, but my experience was truly poor. Firstly, when you walk to school you risk getting hit by cars. There is a rule where cars can't enter this specific parking space since it is reserved for teachers, but literally nobody follows it. They tried to enforce the rule but just gave up. So when you walk to that specific area you got to dodge the parents picking up/dropping off their kids. Secondly, there is this certain teacher that didn't teach for the entire school year. He would mostly goof off in the morning, make us take notes or show us a presentation for two seconds before letting us goof off. Nothing got done in that classroom. Cheating was common everywhere in that class. Nobody really learned anything. Thirdly, favoritism was everywhere. Favoritism isn't uncommon in school settings, (sadly) but it felt very clear here. They weren't even trying to hide it. Some specific teachers were just kinder to kids they liked and everyone else was treated more harshly. It really didn't help student morale. Some teachers let the students they like off the hook for causing trouble, while punishing those who they didn't favor. You can even see this with the staff here. The staff here have VERY obvious favorites. I've seen it every time. Fourthly, the ASES program here was run very poorly. It was fun and cool sometimes but ASES truly made me feel at my worst especially when you are a quiet kid. I was subtly bullied by my peers and those younger than me. I believe I was fat-shamed once when I exited the bathroom. I truly didn't feel like I belonged in this program. I felt isolated and it made me depressed. I felt alone. Teachers in this program have favoritism (Shocking) but it was very strong. Especially with the intern girl that helped on certain days. She would only just watch and didn't discipline any of the kids causing trouble, and literally only talked to some 6th grader girl. The thing that made me the most angry about this program is that nobody would do anything when kids would cause trouble. I have literally seen kids WRESTLE, RUIN THE PLACE, and walk free without any punishment. And nothing literally is done about the bullying in this place. Just some speech about "Don't say these things to your peers, because you wouldn't want them to feel unsafe!" every single time. Let's not forget to mention that they have you outside for 90% of the time. It would be freezing cold and we would be outside. This is from what I heard but, I'm sure the program was doing something they weren't supposed to do because some kid would always threaten to report them. (This is my own personal experience.) Lastly, near graduation, some of my peers in my class harassed the Substitute Teacher. They were mocking and making jokes about her. They threw paper at her. Yet, some were still able to walk for the promotion celebration. I reported those who committed the act but yet, nothing was barely done. I'm disappointed to say the least. It baffles me how much these kids get away with. In conclusion, I would like to say that although I hated this place, it did have amazing times and this shouldn't discourage you from attending this school because I'm just sharing my own personal experience. I would like to clarify that I was an 8th grader for the year 2024-2025 and this place could be subject to changes. One last thing I would like to clarify is that I didn't get into other topics of this place because I have already written quite a bit. (I would like to say that the school food isn't bad like some reviews are saying. But I would prefer if they served healthier lunch meals. But other than that, the food was okay and pretty average. They would serve pizza, waffles and chicken, pizza sticks, burgers, mozzarella cheese pulls, doritos with cheese and meat, hot wings, taconada, and etc., Although it sounds good, it's mostly average because it's school food.) (Something else I would like to share is that some of the kids here are not the brightest bunch. Somebody literally threw an adult toy during 3rd period math. And most kids there vape, unfortunately.) read more

This school needs a parking attendant now! And 2 police officers to give people tickets or tow their cars away. People don't respect the pedestrians. People fly by not paying attention to kids. Kids are dropped off any where. People with out Handy Cap signs park in the Handy Cap spaces. This is a school for kids, get off your cell phones and watch out for our kids... Gossiping can wait... It takes one second to hit a pedestrian... read more

If I can give this school a ONE star I would. My brother attended this school only for his 7th grade year and took him out after my mom and I experienced the worst school year for him. How can the teachers and principles forget to give my brother his award after he work hard for it, and forget to give us his report card during patent conference day?? We called that out to her and she quickly got a post it sticky note and literally wrote down his grades and handed it over to us?! That was a joke! They dont even supervise the P E kids correctly, after seeing a bunch of kids climbing over the fence on Norwalk Blvd with their P.E clothes on and running away. Wheres the staff?? My brother was in band and was gonna perform so when we dropped him off and met him up later at school he was all alone, apparently the teacher said she didnt need him to perform anymore after my mom and I went out our way to get him nice shoes and clothes for him to wear on this big day and for him not to perform last minute?? I dont recomend to have your kids come here unless you wanna deal with the office people and teachers read more
