After completing her 8th grade year, we didn't want to leave. If you are zoned for this school, you are in for a treat! They offer so much in extracurricular + excellent academics. Thank you to the staff of Berkeley Middle School!

As a student I do not recommend going to this school. Last day before I moved to my current school…read more I got milk thrown all over my clothes. Infront of Mr. Tsigaridas the PRINCIPLE and he did not care. I truly feel as though this school has failed me. Bathrooms are unclean and stink especially the gym bathroom. I have been peeked on while using the bathroom, as kids will jump onto the stall to look at you or take pictures. I will say there are very good teachers that I have enjoyed being taught by such as both of the Technology teachers and the English 7 Honors teacher with blonde hair.

Nestled away in a corner of Williamsburg sits Walsingham Academy.  Why did this hit my radar?  We…read morewere visiting Williamsburg one week before Easter and they were hosting a free easter egg hunt!   The grounds are beautiful!  It also helped that it was a beautiful day.  The sun was shining down on the grounds.  Spring flowers were blooming, the green grass was inviting and easter eggs galore!  It was a simple event.  When approaching the grounds it was cordoned off with tape separating areas for age groups 0-7 years old.  Each area had plenty of eggs for hunting and one Golden Egg.  We were lucky and got our hands on a golden egg!  The winning basket included sidewalk chalk, candy, bubbles and an Easter coloring book.  Thank you Wilsingham Academy for a nice event and a memorable experience.

We moved in from out of state and I have to say, at first, there was a bit of culture shock. Yes,…read morethere were discipline issues, but at the end of the day both of my kids did well. The 2018-2019 school year was the first year the new James Blair was open. I'm hoping they get things ironed out (which I'm sure they will) with the new administration. Don't let the horror stories scare you. My kids were in no way harmed or scarred by attending JBMS.

Why cant students have their earbuds in when they are in science but when they are in other classes…read morethey can? Why does the word "cluck" get me yelled at whenever I say it? And people wonder why the students are rebelling or leaving the school. Maybe they can at least give us open seating but limit the amount of ppl per table, then it wouldn't be such a problem! HATE THIS SCHOOl!... only reason I go here is cuz its better than Berkeley and I like my first period and last periods. On top of that the chairs that move around are ok until they have the attached desks which are so annoying in many ways but the most annoying way is how far the desk is from the person. Why is it that far from us? Is it even healthy to have it that far? Other things I find to complain about are the teachers, Ms. N is so unpredictable she can go from happy to annoyed to angry in 0.01 seconds and we even had a student transfer out of the class cause of her attitude. I got yelled at saying "stop having an attitude" when it wasn't even attitude none the less not even for her directly. I know once she see's this.. If she ever does... she would say "stop being argumentative " when I said I wasn't having an attitude! On top of that... every teacher would give ur earbuds back after the end of class, but Ms. S oh... oh no she wants to be extra about that kind of stuff even to keep the earbuds and put them in the main office even giving people referrals for such a small detail as that. "Your computer making sounds by accident cause u forgot to put your earbuds in? Did it sound cause your earbuds got pulled out? Did the volume go up by accident so when u opened ur computer it made sound? Oh I can hear your sound from your earbuds! oh well to bad its mine now" that's for Ms. N's class. Im never suggesting this school to anyone, im never telling ppl I went/go there cause its so embarrassing. Its not even the bullying anymore it's the teachers who are the absolute worse the only phew that are good is the art teacher the civics teacher Mr. R English teacher Ms. H and Ms. HW. I guess decent teachers are Mr. P This has been a bad experience they need to improve fast, as in anytime now.

The bathrooms are disgusting. One day I was sweeping the halls, as i usually do, when an abnormally…read morelarge turd cigar started winking out my chocolate sphincter. I rushed to the bathroom as fast as I possibly could. When I walked in the bathroom, it smelled like corpses and mustard gas. The smell was so repulsive I immediately projectile vomited all over the custodian. Needlessly to say he was not happy. After this, I remembered I had to remove the contents of my intestines into the white bowl below me. Sweet Mary Jesus, when I was done it looked like Antonio Brown tossed a football straight into the porcelain field goal. I should be awarded for that, I mean, It was gargantuan. Oh yea, The bathrooms are nasty. One star.

The play's the thing. I've been to this school in Williamsburg several times to see plays and…read moreshows directed by the Drama teacher, Mr. Stone. So this review is mainly about that subject. He's amazing! He knows how to find the perfect student for each part. He showcases their talent and makes them shine. He instills confidence in his students and they exude poise on stage. He creates a family environment among the students where their talents are celebrated. One can see the hard work and hours of toil he puts in each performance, all the while, humbly behind the scenes encouraging these fledging actors and singers to be their best selves. And they love him too! His positive spirit explodes in the classroom. If you get a chance to go to one of Mr. Stone's performances, don't pass it up. You'll be in for a treat, it's like watching mini Broadway! The playbills are professionally designed, the costumes and sets are on point, the auditorium is clean and comfortable. There are snacks at intermission! Applause applause for Jamestown High School and Mr. Stone! I'm looking forward to the next show! Break a leg!

I tell everyone I meet about WCA and it has been a godsend for my son. I am so thankful he is not in the public school system here anymore.
