😠 Unfortunately, the reviews here are quite accurate in terms of the intolerable bullying at Willowdale Middle School. It is not addressed by the teachers and staff whom I am sure, notice it. Also, our son mentioned many times that the cafeteria food is overpriced and poor quality. The bullying, more... People often mention school, teachers, good,

    Unfortunately, the reviews here are quite accurate in terms of the intolerable bullying at Willowdale Middle School. It is not addressed by the teachers and staff whom I am sure, notice it. Also, our son mentioned many times that the cafeteria food is overpriced and poor quality. The bullying, more than anything, is a serious issue to be addressed. We ended up switching schools for our son

    Attending Willowdale is okay, however the lunchroom is always overcrowded and there's a lot of understaffing around the school. (My 7th grade class had over 40 people(

    I went here for Grades 7-9 back in 1977-1980. It was called Willowdale Junior High School back then. My home room teachers were, in order, Mr Christensen (rugged outdoorsman type, loved him), Mr Stewart (wore polyester, or maybe he didn't, but that's the way I remember it), and Mr Manson (really nice person who had trouble controlling his class). My favourite and most memorable teachers at this school were Mme de Villiers (English), Mr Gebirtig (Phys Ed and Health), Mr Laansoo (art), Mr Pipe (Science), and Miss Baker (Music). Sadly, reading some of the other reviews, it sounds like nothing has changed in 40 years! I was bullied extensively and the school officials did nothing more than hand-wringing. Thank you, Mr Brown (Vice Principal) for being the one person in administration who had my back.

    The school is okay. I wouldn’t say it’s the best but it has a nice working environment and great teachers. The COVID-19 protocols are very effective and I like how the system of the school is. Now moving on to the cafeteria.. the cafeteria offers typical unhealthy school food. I once ordered a two slice pizza but what I got in return was a cold and bitten pizza. So to make a long story short: Great academic aspects but not the best food. I would recommend this school.

    Ok here's a review of my experience here (gr 7/8, I didn't go here for 6th) It doesn't have a good atmosphere The new principal is not involved at all and I can only think of 5 teachers who are actually good, and your kid would not get all of them assigned to him/her. There's a fair amount of decent teachers but there's also a lot of bad. All the new people they hire are getting worse and worse. It was very easy to skip class for hours at a time and get good grades. Kids gossip a lot here and are more sexual than the average middle schooler for some reason (but your kid will not get involved with that stuff unless they want to be). Most students from here go to Northview, some to Earl Haig or Mackenzie, a rare few to private schools or Newtonbrook. I graduated from here but when we tried to visit they almost called the cops on us, without being reasonable at all. Some of my best memories here were the dances and graduation trip. Those make the rating higher. And I'll be honest, skipping with friends made fun times, as well as arguing with bad teachers. (and sneaking into the convenience store nearby at lunch/running there after school to try to avoid the line) The good teachers definitely left good memories with me as well. Although there were bad people, I still made good friends, and I have them with me at my new school I would not reccommend going here or sending your kid here. If you are going to go here, prepare for a somewhat toxic, very odd experience.

    When my daughter was 6th grade, she got bullied a lot and didn't learn anything in school. I told the school couple times about my daughter was bullied but they didn't care. But in the end, I switched school for my daughter since 7th grade and she felt better in her new school.

    Theachers are very nice but other that and the education and help with work that is the only good parts. This is my first year here and i have been bullied alot. i got suspended for a day beacuse i was in alot of drama when really i had gotten punched in the face and stomac three times. The principle is nice but the vice-principle is uhm- ya.
