E L Wright Middle School 2740 Alpine Road, Columbia, SC 29223

"This school is really just a normal public school, the bathrooms smell like weed the kids are rude to the teachers. A big issue is just the fact that some teachers are just really lazy. for example, I take a test on the first day of the third nine weeks. then the grade gets put in a month and a half later and I don't know what i'm looking at. I'm not saying the teachers aren't doing their job right i'm just saying that they don't do enough. I don't think you shouldn't send your kids to this school just because of a couple of middle school kids opinions, because this school has helped me learning wise, but kids at this school are really rude and don't know how to act in a learning environment."

"This school is perfect Except for the following problems:Roaches, Constant Subs, and Environment. 7/10. People often don't enjoy this school because of tensions.Tensions between student and teacher. Tensions from economic disparity."

"My kids are in the Law program and they love it. They have both had some trouble with some teachers but, they have both excelled and learned a lot. At this school you grow and learn to love everybody like family, because you grow up with them. ELW has opened up so many opportunities, and helped me learn so much about my kids."

"Its not set up like a school supposed to be. They don't handle bulling, they barely listen to what you got to say the new counselor barely give you good advice. Sometimes he don't listen to you. The assistant principal is rude, disrespectful and negative and to add there's to much drama and to many fights"
