    "Whaley has improved over the past few years, although there are still a lot of shortcomings that need to be addressed. Some teachers such as Mr. Mohn, Mrs. Wilson, Mr. Weiss, Ms. Byrd, Mr. Reyes, Mrs. Estal are quality educators. There are still many teachers at the school that need a lot of improvement in their teaching and classroom management. The Principal, Mr. Lyles, has a difficult time getting along with the other teachers and staff. He has had 3 secretaries and one Assistant Principal quit in the 2 years that he's been Principal at Whaley MS. The new Assistant Principal( Mr. Ramon) is liked by most teachers, staff, as well as by the students. Mr. Ramon treats everyone with dignity and respect. If Mr. Ramon were Principal I would have little doubt you would see real cohesion within the school and a dramatic improvement in state test scores."

    "This school in most part is a great school. If you have the potential to learn, the place where you study shouldn't matter. The teachers are very helpful, the staff is like family and the principal is very cooperative. The fights and graffiti and other things are just like any other middle school. I say this because I was a student there and I graduated in honors and now I'm attending CAMS and I was never caught behind because my teachers taught the correct material. Again, if you have the potential to learn, you'll learn."

    "This comment is to the person who posted that Whaley is a bad school let me tell you the school is like that because of the students behavior because of the fact that their parent's didn't educate them well! My TEACHER'S were EXCELLENT and I APPRECIATED THEM VERY MUCH."
