As a parent of a former WJHS student and a current student, I would give them a C plus. As someone who has worked with teenagers, this is a tough population. The gender classes instituted this year have, in my opinion been good for the male population. WJHS does need to work on cohesivness between

This is one weakness we noted once our older child started attending WHS and then college. Parent involvement is a must in all aspects which is sorely lacking.

The only thing they had going for them was their principal and now he's leaving.After carefully consideration I have no choice but to put her in a private Christian school where I can count on teachers to care about the success of their students.
