I have been a parent of children in this school for the last five years. I also have had to deal with many schools in the past and find this school to be so much more organized, in touch with the students needs and very active in their lives both on and off the school grounds. It is great to see the

He is very concerned about the students of WKHS and is very supportive of them. He is a great encourager and is a true down to earth coach. One that will surely be missed. If you want the perfect school. Don't come cause you will only make it imperfect. If you want real join us! Read less

We may not be like all schools in the area but we're a family.

The school is just not up to par with other schools in the area and around the world. Some of the teacher are great but for the most part they don't seem to care about anything but their paycheck.

My youngest attends WKHS. Even though there are small problems, it is still a wonderful school. So far, my childs teachers have surrounded her with as much care and concern as one could ask. If you want your child to have a good education, be involved no matter what school it is. The education of a

The other half is doing the work. I found most students no matter what school I have been in are just lazy. WKHS staff care and attempt to encourage and get the best out of the students. By highschool, the students can make or break their own education. The Staff is just the frosting on the cake. WKHS has great frosting. Read less

This school is still fairly new, but has made great strides within the last few years. overall the school is very good.
