I went to Weston High School. It is an amazing school. I personally know the teachers, and they are some of the best in the state.

It is unfortunate really, a town that lacks its own zip code with a god complex. I would not send my dog to Weston after attending there. Everyone knows there is an 'inner-ring' of favorites.

I am a proud graduate of Weston High School. Although I only attended the last two years of high school there, I still see it as a blessing.

As for the teachers at Weston, I personally know several and would like to applaud them for the good works they do.

I have attended Weston High School and i have beleived and still belive that this school is absolutely horrible! When Principal Mr.Alford left, it went totally downhill.

Many high school students at Weston dispise her and Weston all together because of the 'cliches' that students and teachers make for themselves and other students. Basketball and baseball players are also very favored over regular students at Weston. As a 3 year cheerleader, i have experienced the favoratism over other students, even on school trips. I feel that this school is unsatisfactory and my children will never attend Weston! Read less

I have two children currently attending Weston High School. Academically I believe that Weston is an amazing school. I too have noticed that 'certain' students tend to get away with misbehavior whereas others are punished quickly and sometimes unreasonably. The question is this though, would you prefer

I am a student currently attending Weston High School. Most of these reviews are very upsetting. Although some of them are true, Weston is a very good school to attend.

My son attends WHS. From the beginning, I've noticed there's an inner circle of children from certain 'families' who get away with acts that would mean instant punishment on regular students. In recent years there have been hazing incidents, and racial tension has begun cropping up. I feel the
