- Considering the many variables and all that the administrators, teachers, staff, as well as parents contend with in the neighborhood and the immediate community...It's an operational operational success, and this includes its outstanding parent center. I give it a 5 for effort. However, the problems with children coming from primarily Spanish speaking homes that provide little or no previous frontloading in the 4 disciplines of academics presents a great challenge for the professionals that work there. In addition, without commitment to education from the overall community in lieu of its hardships and lack of foundation in English, the effect bears a great toll on the school's student achievement. Therefore, I consider this school a 5 in comparison to other community schools I have observed in my 25 years as an educatior. Wilmington Middle School is a great place to work as it is a great place to learn if the parent is serious about his/her child's education.
