As a former Wren student, and having experienced how other High Schools throughout the state function via younger siblings, I feel I have a good foundation for argument. First let me say that I hated my time at Wren, but will admit that its a decent school. Average, even though it's reputation would

So much so that it interfered with what they are there for - to provide a good education to their students. The teachers are pretty good, but not overly concerned with assisting the kids who really need help. Cliques: Ya'll need to concern yourselves with the fact that some teachers get involved with the Cliques. Forget the students. Also, Wren does test well, but most students come from good families.It's not the education. Read less

I am a former student of Wren High School and absolutly loved the time I spent there.I feel I received a top quality education and had wonderful teachers that would bend over backwards for their students. Now that I am a mother, I would not send my child to any other school other than Wren. The Wren

I believe most of the reviews on here were correct and was a little upset to see a few not so good reviews. I can only speak for myself, but I truly believe that this is a wonderful school and will not send my child anywhere else when that time comes. I highly recommend Wren to anyone thinking of moving to this area. You will not be disappointed. Read less

I'm very proud of the education I received at Wren High School. The teachers are committed to us students and with words of encouragement, they've always pushed me to do my best.

At times the policies may be strict, but it isn't hard to follow the rules... wear your ID, don't have holes in your pants above your knee, and don't get in fist fights. It's pretty simple. I really believe that I received an unmatched education at Wren... one that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. Read less

I think Wren High School is an excellent school. In reality the discipline system is very efficient and the rules they have are to keep us safe. True there are cliques, but where are there not?

Once left team, had very difficult time....half of teachers would not communicate, ignored emails until report card time when too late.

But, will say, graduated because of one special ed teacher that had for 2 years-she was fantastic! Read less
