"Worst school ever. If I could give it no stars I would. They afllow bullying and punish the child that fights back. Dn't ruffle their feathers, because it will make it worse for your child. They admitted that they rely on gossip for facts. They punnish the victim not the bully.. It all depends on who has the most friends. Just because you are a child, does not mean you are not entitled to due process. This is a child's future that they are playing with. Shouldn't the child's safety come first."

"Mr. Wallwork is NOT from Hawaii and doesn't claim to be, so I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about (obviously they don't either). He is from western Washington and one of the most outstanding citizens our family knows. You will not meet a more genuine and caring administrator. Mr. Wallwork was a teacher first and so he knows firsthand how to best care for students and teachers. Just because someone isn't over the top with personality doesn't mean that they can't be a good person. I would much rather have a calm principal for my students then someone with a "strong personality" who could fly off the handle at any moment. You must not know very many Polynesians if you think they are all from Hawaii."

"This school isn't the greatest. The "new" Principal Mr. Wallwork supposedly comes from Hawaii. How does one come from Hawaii with NO ALOHA or Personality? What a disgrace to Hawaii he is. However, some of the teachers are excellent. They are there to teach, educate, and "help" your children succeed. While there are some other teachers who don't give a hoot!"

"This school is alright -- mediocre! Some of the teachers are great, while others are all over the place. Parents you really need to be involved a 110% in order for your kids to receive "quality" education! Nonetheless, the principal and vice-principal could care less. When you bring problems to their attention, it seems as if they only want to "sweep" the problems under the rug rather than getting to the core of the problems that were addressed, and "fix it"."

"I have a student that has gone to McLaughlin for the past two years. He is an 8th grade student with ADD. I would not recommend this school unless you had the perfect child that did not need help from the teachers. I agree with the parent who wrote about that staff only being there to defend themselves. They don't care about the students. What happened to the days where teachers were there to teach?? Not to just get the pay check in hand. I am giving the school one more quarter to prove that they can do their job, then I will pull my son out to another school. Not all the staff is bad, but I would say that you get 2 out of 10 that care about you child. Not enough to get the job done!!"
