Webb school of knoxville Reviews

It was Phenomenal, and I'm not saying that just because I went there. There was a real sense of community, and my teachers truly were great (5 out of the 6 teachers I had senior year had PhD, not that was why they were great, its simply a tangible metric of general quality). All my teachers really knew their stuff and truly inspired great interest in their respective subjects, and I really mean that with the greatest sincerity. It was rigorous and combined with the sports I did there at times I was extremely busy, but it was wonderful. I'm now at a top liberal arts college, and I can honestly say it taught me how to learn, and how to handle myself in and out of the classroom.

There is an Honor Code, which means people can't lie, cheat, or steal and regardless of how idealistic it may sound, it does make for a community with great trust. This makes for an atmosphere lacking in cynicism, and is very important to the general vibe of the campus (one which is beautiful by the way).

Whether in sports, clubs, performing arts, etc... webb offered me a vast array of opportunities which every child can take advantage of. I loved running cross country and playing soccer, as well as playing in the school band.

Some individuals seem to enjoy bashing it, but odds are it was because of a reason unrelated to the education or school experience, or perhaps out of spite for how wonderful it is.

Simply put, the sense of community at Webb is beyond anything I have seen at the others schools I attended. That includes teachers, who were truly inspiring and very fun people to be around.

This review is getting rather long, so I must close, by saying this school truly is special, I grew immensely as a person, in a variety of areas.

We have two children (one in the lower school and one in the middle school) that both started there in Kindergarten. They've had an incredibly immersive, supportive and creative environment to grow up in at each grade level. The faculty and staff are fantastic, each taking their job seriously yet making learning fun. I think the facilities are fantastic and some of the nicest in Knoxville, if not the nicest and the new Football Field and Gymnasium are certainly beyond anything I ever experienced growing up! I would highly recommend this school to anyone looking for a top notch educational experience for their child.

Great school. I ve learned a lot during my first year at the Upper School. I highly recommend you send your kids here, because they won t get an education like this anywhere else.

I started at the Webb School of Knoxville in 7th grade. The transition was very tough coming from a public school. It's basically like skipping a whole grade without being prepared. After arriving at Webb, my confidence went down and I began not to care about my academics at all.

During my Freshman year of school I got cursed out by a teacher at the school in front of the whole class ("Are you a f*c*I*g idiot?") for not knowing an answer to a question during class. I went home crying and my mother went to the school and told them about this issue. They did not discipline the teacher because they said that he (Luke Day) would be leaving the school very soon. So the school completely ignored what happened to me. How would you feel if this happened to your child? What would you want the school to do then? To top it all off, no one even came forward as a witness until after it was all over and too late. This issue should've went national. If it would've happened this day in time I would've been compensated some how or hushed one.

Did this school prepare me for college? Yes. Did I hate every minute of this school? Yes. Did I build life long friendships at this school and do I speak to anyone I went to school with during my 7 years of attendance? No. Are there cliques? Yes. Would it be worth it to try it out? Yes.

Coming from a public school, this school is like going to Hogwarts almost. It is totally different. There are less rules and restrictions for students and a ton of homework.

Since graduation, I have not really returned to the campus. I try to avoid it--nightmare on elm street. Good Luck and pray over your child before you send them to school, you never know where the Devil is lurking. I have others stories to tell but I do not want to totally give away my identity.

Great experience! An excellent faculty prepares the student not only for the entry into college, but for the years ahead . Though academics have always been the priority, I greatly enjoyed the competitive athletics while at Webb as well. I could not have asked for a better high school opportunity!

Webb has prepared both of my children to be world ready and has taught them the value of inclusiveness, intellectual curiosity and respect for others.

We have had children at Webb School since 2003, spanning Kindergarten through high school. The course offerings, facilities, technology, art programs and athletics are all first rate, but the true magic of the school is the interaction of the passionate faculty with the motivated students in the classroom. Our children are very different from each other, yet they each found a place to thrive at Webb School. They developed a love of learning and a world view in a challenging academic environment and are well-prepared for the future.
