“I'm a student at WSMS and I love it! I'm in the 'traditional' program and it's only a name. I could be in the optional program, because my scores are very high, but I do not want to be considered as a snob or RUDE!!! WSM is a place where anyone can learn! The teachers love their students and wants everyone to succeed. If the optional teachers would learn a little RESPECT, people would have nothing but good things to say about the school in these reviews!”

“I am an Optional student at White Station Middle School (WSMS). Compared to most Memphis City Schools, WSMS is the best choice. The school has wonderful TCAP scores, and great reviews. Most of the students seem to love it. So why not send your child there? WSMS has a difficult Optional program to enter. The administrators only look at the English and Math sections of TCAP when making their decision. Children who excel in science or social studies are completely over looked. If you do manage to enroll your child into the Optional program, beware: your child may become a discriminative snob. Not discriminating against race or religion, but against those in the Traditional program. Upon entering the Optional program, even the nicest of people begin to become haughty. If you overlook the fact that the administration ignores some students who shine and students who discriminate against those in not as prestigious programs, White Station Middle School is a good school.”

“I recently moved from WSMS to a school in Pennsylvania called Stroudsburg Junior High School. The school I go to now isn't bad but you'll never meet such great friends like the ones you'll make in this school.The new bulding is great but like all schools it has problems too. I was in Optional and had some friends in traditional and they sometimes don't get treated fairly among friends and teachers, but it's just some of the snobby people in optional who do that.Most of them aren't like that. We can fix that though. If you ever move you'll really miss this school and the friends you make!”

“I think that the snobbery expressed in the two previous posts is a perfect example of what makes this such a BAD school with a focus on cliques, rivalry, snobbery, and fostering a false sense of superiority among Optional students, rather than focusing on learning. The tone in these two previous posts says it all: this is a school for students who want to live under the delusion that they are somehow better than other students because of which program they are in. The faculty should really do something to bring these students together, rather than fostering the apartheid mentality as they do.”

“I started going to White Station Middle in the seventh grade and am currently in the eighth grade. I love my school sooo much because no matter who you are, you are bound to find some of the best friends you will ever have in your lifetime. Just the same, the teachers are very pushy and help you prepare for whatever it is that you want to do in life. My friends and I have competitions to see who will get a better grade! In fact, we actually consider being called a nerd a compliment. Private schools- sure- better name and all but the reason that our scores are not as good as theirs is because of the Traditional section. The Optional Section is really what you are going for. Once you get there, it will take a lot to stop you from whatever you want to do.”

“I love this school. I'm an optional 8th grader, and all my teachers this year and last year really enjoy their jobs. If the traditional kids cared at ALL, this school would be so much better. I think the new building has really helped rid of all the 'gangster' conduct. It's hard to be a 'gangster' in the nicest looking school in Memphis. I am moving on to the high school, and I am hoping they will build such a nice school there for that reason alone.”

“WSMS is a very good school and is an excellent learning enviroment. My Daughter love it. It's actually a complement for the students to call each other a nerd lol. My Daughter would actually compete with her friends to see who would get the highest grade on an assignment. Learning was actually fun for her there. What more would you want?”

“I am a new parent at WSMS this year with a sixth grader. I have found WSMS to be a wonderful school, from the Principal, Principal Assistants, Teachers, and Students. This is a wonderful school to have your child attend. Communication is the biggest thing I like, you are always up to date with what is going on and when. We give the school a 5 star as it is one of the best in Memphis...”

“WSMS has an excellent academic program. It's very clear that the entire faculty and administrative staff are committed to cultivating an environment that encourages the kids to achieve excellence. In addition, the school's symphonic band program is wonderful and provides a supportive, fun learning environment that has also produced some very talented musical ensembles. The level of parental involvement at WSMS is outstanding, as indicated by the other reviews here.”

“White Station Middle Schools is in my opinion the best school that my child has been in. She recently completed the 8th grade. I have another daughter starting there this fall. The teachers and faculty of the school are very demanding of the students, but that is because they truly care for the kids. Teachers and staff are awesome! Mr. Michael William (the choir instructor) has been the most valuable person in my daughter s life! She really blossomed under his guidance in so many ways (not just vocally). He loves all the kids he works with and it is so evident! He is a one of a kind teacher and White Station is benefiting from it!”

“We are not officially part of the W.S. parent group, as yet, but are hoping to be one soon, this fall, with a daughter in 7th grade. We must commend the school for its assistance in our relocation to Tennessee, by guiding us in a clear manner on how to get admitted into the school's optional program. Kudos to Mrs. Blassinggame, the optional school co-ordinator, who has guided us from day 1 of our decision to get admittance here. She clearly outlined what paperwork was needed and suggested we get our daughter privately evaluated again for math if we were keen on enriched academics. Later, when we visited Memphis last week, she worked closely with us, told us what apartments the school bus caters to, suggested we call the transpo dept to get a wider view of the bus route and patiently answered all our queries on the school activities. Her clarity and southern hospitality has us overwhelmed,we eagerly await to join the team.”

“White Station Middle is probably one of the best experiences my child has ever had in his educational experience. The administration is very stern, but they care about the kids - and the kids know it. My son was in the standard program and learned a lot. He was not treated differently just because he was not in the Optional Program. All the teachers were good - one in particular. The choir teacher, Mr. Williams, was by far the highlight of his two years there. This man is a teacher that every parent would want for their child. His love and devotion for the kids is evident in all he did for them. He always put them first, never himself. They sounded better than many high school choirs I have heard. White Station Middle ... thank you!”
