L Douglas Wilder Middle School 6900 Wilkinson Road, Richmond, VA 23227

"I love this school so much and no I'm not a parent of a student and no I'm not a teacher I'm actually a student that goes to this school and it is great so far~A. Canada"

"The principal makes excuses for the poor actions of the staff. If you have students with special needs don't allow them to be bullied by staff and students. A poor excuse for setting good examples."

"Went here back in 2008-2010, from the comments I read this school hasn't changed in the 6-7 years. I was bullied here by a group of ghetto girls yes ghetto this school has mainly trash going here (there were a few nice girls I met so I'm not saying the entire school.) But it was stressful for me, my hair was falling out, I failed the 6th grade because I missed so much school because I begged my parents to let me stay home and not have to be around these disgusting girls. There was a lot of he said she said going around. The tutoring is or was a joke, went there because I suck at math during the weekend, had us play goldfish only their for a paycheck with their lazy... So glad I left here before 8th grade I don't think I could've taken anymore of this. Don't go here or any school in this area they're mainly disgusting people who want to fight you just for glancing their way. I remember some girl started poking me, then caught a tude when I told her to stop saying "Oh yeah we're going to have some problems." Then later during my gym period her cousin (who was nice to me before she started talking about it.) Came up to me yammering like a dog. "You think this you that you can't talk to my cousin like this, I'll beat you up, who you think you are?" And I was basically attacked from then on there was a whole group of girls who just had it out for me just because this one girl said so. I wasn't the only one, I remember being in the bathroom and some other girl was crying because some guys called her ugly and were bullying her. They did nothing...they didn't call my parents nothing, I couldn't even use the bathroom while other girls were in there they would throw stuff over the stall. and take my lunch box and toss it across the room. They would gather around me while I was walking down the hall and start stomping all over my feet yelling at me, And I'm not making this stuff up some of the worse years of school I've ever had. I hope they grew up since then..though I doubt it it's hard to get rid of that thought process of the ghetto. Had my parent go down to the school we had to talk to teachers didn't really help though the girls laid off a bit...I was blamed mainly.. Also lots of fights on the bus, he said she said as always. The bus had to pull over because some animals got into a fight right in front of me, I had to move back a seat because they landed on top of me...just disgusting disgusting people. I feel like throwing up when I think about them and this place disgusting. About the teachers yeah there were two teachers I liked I can only remember one of their names though I think Mr. Berck white guy, bald, blue eyes. I doubt he still works there if he wanted to stay sane and if he does he probably doesn't look the same. And a lady who taught math she had red hair and was pretty young...can't remember her name though. They bought taught 6th grade floor on the bottom. Teachers are a bit...strange I suppose? I was in band and the teacher always spoke to me as if I were an idiot when I asked questions. The teachers hate being there just as much as the students no one wants to be here everyone hates each other...Just like real life. Overall terrible place, don't go here unless your child is able to fight. If your child is like me who is quiet, and doesn't really fit into the "ghetto culture." Go someplace else..just for your sanity."

"i personally feel they like to sweep things under the rug to much when things get real then they want to do something for instance like bullying my son got in to a fight with a boy my son never threw a punch they did not contact me until 40 mins after the kids arrived from school kept my son there we had to hear from students my son was still at school because of a fight when we get up to the school we ask not gonna give a name but he told us the reason why they have not contacted us is because he other matters to tend to this year my daughter is attending so far she is doing good but the teachers do have smart mouth towards the kids other then that i will continue to be the parent to light a fire under the staff there so they can do there job ty"

"Absolutely amazing staff and administration, I am proud my children attends. Thank you for all you do. Keep up the great work."
