“I love Whitman! I'm going into the 8th grade. I couldn't ask for a better school. It may not seem like the safest neighborhood, but Mr. Starosky (principle) and all other staff keep everything in order.”

“My son started 6th grade this year at Whitman and overall we've been very happy with it. There are many dedicated, hard working staff members, the principal is wonderful, parent involvement is strong and there is a unity in working to make it a great school. It is scheduled to be torn down and rebuilt in a couple years which is way overdue but don't overlook the good things happening inside this old, dingy building!”

“Our 7th-grader enjoys Whitman and the school is improving under a strong principal. Students are now separated by grade, each with its own counselor, 6th grade students get a taste of all elective programs, overall number of students is declining, teachers are enhancing their skills by working in teams. Diverse student body, generally positive environment, reasonably good parent involvement.”

“Very disappointed that they eliminated jazz band this year. Although there is a music program, it has been effectively dismantled in the last few years to give way for more 'academic' subjects or to make room for P.E.”

“Absolutely no compliance to State or Federal standards when it comes to Special Ed. Spiders and dirt reported by students over the course of several years. Fountains finally shut down because of unsafe drinking water. School district culture, not just personalities, are responsible for this.”
