(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - As long as I have been attending Workman Middle School, I have been hating it. I recommend that you all take your children to some other school, or else your child may end up in some of the worst situations. In fact, if your child is attending any school in the Escambia County School District, please withdraw them. Every since, (...) the School Board has been going down the drain. He has been hiring ABUSIVE teachers and he is not a very good listener. WORKMAN MIDDLE SCHOOL is not the place you want your child to attend. (...) are the worst staff members there. They lie, they cheat, they steal, and they are abusive. and that is not a place you want your child to attend.
