You know that someone has actually gone to W.C.I. when their face screws up in a mixture of disgust and fear at the mention of its name. I have the teacher's I love, Ms. Genzoli, who was awesome and Mr. Hoy who was constantly shocked when the one student who never did her homework or paid attention seemed to know the material the best when it came to test time. The mildly strange ones, Ms. Batz and Ms. Gautier who made me cook and lip sync in public, respectively. And the one's you hated so much they ruined the subject for you, that's right Ms Donahoe, I'm not a microbiologist because of you. They even had a YMCA that was here for awhile. Though why I participated I haven't the faintest. But it did seem to create some togetherness with us kids in a school where everyone basically hated each other and years later I still know a bit about what happened to a few of them. The best was when after speaking to a friend of mine I found out she knew one of them, Josh, who I hadn't spoken to in at least 6 years if not more. I told her the story of when the W.C.I. YMCA kids all went to Old Sac and bought fake "cigarettes." Josh and a couple others were kicked out of Carl's Jr for "smoking" and for the rest of the year I harassed him about it. Getting him on the phone more than 6 years later, the first thing she asked was, "So I hear you got kicked out of a Carl's Jr for smoking?!" To which he shockingly asked back, "Meg?" Ahh memories. read more

Awful school, if you're deciding to send your kids here DO NOT. Your kid will suffer with how horrendous their school is. The bullying is horrible and the principal does nothing about it, as a past student their principal is highly inappropriate, he mentions his marriage issues in bullying conferences by comparing their harassment to how he had to sleep on the couch last night and we all make mistakes. Theirs sexual harassment all the times and their camera don't work when you need them, my friends have been grabbed by the chest multiple times by boys in hallways. There are kids I know who have PAID the school to not get expelled for their misbehavior, the subjects and way they teach is long and doesn't end up with much progress. Don't even start me on PE, they are 100% ableist, and Pe teachers would deny kids medical exemption, even if you have a medical note saying you can't do PE they dock your grade for not participating. They used to make kids do the pacer which is were you run back and forth 150 times on a basketball court everyweek but stopped becuase kids started getting health issues. This school is horrible. Not to mention drama and fights are common occurrences. read more

I don't want to make this lengthy because nobody's going to read the entirety of it so in short, (Jason the principal) doesn't do anything about disrespectful students, he leaves it up to the teachers which can't even do anything (teachers are amazing it's just him that doesn't know how to run a school) students get criticized for what they are wearing, students that are accused of misbehavior are only given 4 days of suspension maximum without homework (the no homework part makes them want to get suspended more) Students sexually and physically harass other smaller students And lastly students expel their waste products into the sink bathrooms aswell as vape in them This is WCI summarized read more

In our experience, WCI had serious issues with student behavior, including racism, vandalism, online bullying, and a noticeable sense of entitlement among some students. I heard Caucasian students use the N-word on multiple occasions, and there was repeated bathroom vandalism, including soap dispensers being torn off the walls and thrown into toilets. Bullying also carried over onto TikTok and Instagram. The teachers seemed to have very limited ability to control the situation, which contributed to a negative environment. Since moving to another city and school district, we have not seen any of the issues we experienced at WCI, and that difference has been very telling. read more

WCI isn't the best school. I mean I love the staff and the teachers are so sweet. I've learned so much during my time here. The reason why this school is terrible is because many of the students are extremely disrespectful. When a kid does something wrong they get no punishment. read more

I was breaking down and talking about hating everyone and wanting to disappear and she was COLORING. then she told me she was happy and she talked about coloring, completely cutting me off. Then she went off to another student and left me there CRYING. Im so happy at las lomas. read more

This school is actually very bad. The amount of drama in this school is unbearable. A lot of bullying in this school. A lot of the teachers here don't know how to control the students, so what's the point of being a teacher? I believe that a lot of staff that work there are being overpaid without doing a lot of work. There's a lot of geese poop on the grass every day, it's very gross. A lot of students jam food and other stuff in the restroom. And, they throw toilet paper to the ceiling as well. It's messed up. Please, if you can choose another school, choose somewhere else. read more

The Principal no has equal discipline with the kids. In the last year only give suspension report and no has any investigation for the kids to give the objects to my son. in this school happen in up grades different problems with discipline to involve fight with blood and call to police for this incidents. I think the problem in United States for the suiciide students is for no has equal opportunit. Today this person has joking for to continue in this school and no receive to my child if appear in ParenSquare and request for transfer in this school. my son was sad and told to suicide but we talked with my son and support to continue in another school. And the another District has a different process to my son was happy. When I reported many incident this Principal only put reports and today I very sad when he joining for us and no permit to my son to continue. The District Walnut Creek has different behavior behavior and understanding at the same the school for my daughte but this is school never recommended if you are poor people or latí. people read more

Pretty good, along with free, but way too much bullying. Although I do like how they have "the wheel" for 6th grade, where they get to see what they like. read more

This school is mid. Some The teachers are pretty nice, but homework sucks. They tell you that it is only going to be work if you don't finish it class, but teachers just assign homework. And the fields are taken over by geese. it is really annoying. Good thing is the electives are at least good. But also a lot of drama happens and it can get pretty bad. But the office people aren't that nice and have denied kids of help, even if they are bleeding. The only thing I am grateful for is the drama department, awesome teacher and we have enough funding to put on 2 shows a year.but still it's not a great place. read more

This place is terrible, and I honestly do not recomend it. The teachers don't care whatsoever, and a teacher even cussed out a child. Another teacher actually ignored a child's medical condition and just yelled at her. They don't care about SA cases, or any cases for that matter. The food is pretty bad, and you could probably take some classes from the Culinary Arts teacher, because the food they teach us to make there is better. The school also doesn't care for any personal issues, such as a family death. read more

This school is the worst. I was looking forward to middle school but was extremely disappointed. The principal gave a speech about how the school "grades us not on the result, but on the effort we give" which is SUCH crap. The curriculum is NOT "engaging and flexible" as the school says. Science class is pretty boring because we use simulations and never get to do anything real. History and math are super boring. English is okay, but it depends on our teacher. Advisory is just a waste of time. P.E. is WAY too hard (in my opinion); every week we have to either run one mile, walk one mile, or do a pacer test (running across the blacktop over 50 times with about a second in between). And it's unfair because to get an A on walking the mile, we have to do it in twelve and a half minutes, so we have to run most of the time. To get an A on running the mile, we have to get seven and a half minutes, which is impossible, but if you do, then I look forward to seeing you in the Olympics. There are a couple of really good teachers, but there are more bad ones. Most of the teachers don't care at all; quite a few of them are mean. They don't help students, they look really bored, and they don't have enough control over the class. Sometimes they even complain that they don't get paid enough. About 90% of the students aren't bright and are just annoying. They spend their time at school saying racial/homophobic slurs, playing games on their chromebooks (they've figured out how to play games like Minecraft and Roblox), using their phones in class, and doing suggestive things such as moaning and drawing male genitals. The teachers do pretty much nothing about it usually. But I believe a lot of the students would be more motivated if the curriculum and teachers were better. There are a bunch of ridiculous rules. We can't use the bathroom during the first and last ten minutes of class, and we only get four bathroom passes per quarter. If we run out, well, we have to use the bathroom in between classes. But there are only five minutes in between each period, and if we're late to a class too many times, we have to pick up trash during lunch before we can eat. Going to the bathroom shouldn't be so hard. Lunch is forty minutes long, which is fine I guess, but there's also a time to eat in between the second and third period called brunch, which is only TEN MINUTES LONG. Currently, there are only three minutes to get to class after brunch, which is not enough time to pack up and walk across the entire school. The school has a pretty normal dress code, but the only thing they dress code people for is wearing flannel pants, which they seem to have an issue with. There are a bunch of other bad things about WCI, but I hope this is enough to discourage you from joining us. I strongly recommend NOT going here. read more

Pretty mid ong not much goin on here pretty normal If im being honest but it's mid mid

Dont go here if you dont have to and dont send your kids here if you can because its not good. The principle is not nice at all he screams at any one he even does to teachers and little kids. But when people are bullied he doesnt care. If we have assembly's and he talks he never stops and its rude I think and I think other kids say so to. Alot of the teachers are new and dont even control the class at all but if they send a rude kid to the office to get quiet they just come back and are loud again. Those same loud kids are bullies to everyone I think everyone becaus when ever I ask people they say they hate them too for being mean every one knows it but idk why they dont stop it. Some of the teachers are cool I think but they are always trying to quiet the rude kids which sucks when you have your hand raised and a kid is being loud and the teacher is busy telling the other kid to shut up basically well they don't say shut up but ya. And classes are boring sometimes I think but not always and not to hard except math bc the teacher I wont say who he lets the kids yell and play and jm not joking make tiktoks which is fun but ok not if its class and its so loud and theres hw. And even not in class kids are rude and do whatever they want and if the principle comes to yell at them they just come back and laugh and say they don't even care so they just start being rude and mean again. I hate lunch and pe most because every one knows it's all kids with no teachers or principles to watch and they can be rude alot but get away with it becase they just get yelled at and are fine to go again and even if kids go tell and say about how mean they were the principle just talks and says its ok don't worry but it doesnt help bc then they say bye and you go back to getting bullied. Ya so just I hate this school and dont go really. read more

I feel ever so slightly more knowledgeable, I guess. And I they don't enforce the rules much.

i swear. the amount of bullying i have been through is ridiculous. i have been bullied for my family, being gay and even the way i freaking dress. unless you hate your children, dont send them here. the only thing that was mildly good was the schedule and staff, which were both cool. when they say school is prison, this is the school they mean. read more

The principal resigned at the end of the year and it shows. The kids had a generic "pre recorded" promotion, and received ZERO recognition of honor roll, not even a measly certificate of accomplishment for honor roll. Hard work is not rewarded here. read more
