I'm not sure why this WOMS is getting any bad reviews. I'm going into my 8th grade year this year, so I can tell you first hand. As for the bullying & discipline, I assure you nobody is bullied, or other kids will stand up for you and tell an adult. From there, any trouble is always taken care of. All of my teachers are very patient and willing to help students individually, even before and after school, through tutoring. The teachers are always supportive of you in everything you do, academics, athletics, out of school activities whatever it is, they're always there as not only teachers but good examples of what you should be like. School is a safe environment and I feel as if I've learned more this past school year than I've learned ever before.
