Good schools with a lot of opportunity for growth. Teachers and staff are great. I believe every student makes it out to be what it is. The parent's comment before mine was probably one of those students that were a problem child. My kids have no problems with their teachers or other students. You

My children have attended school in 2 different states and several different regions witin those states and I will say that I believe this is the worst school I have ever had to deal with. I have pulled all of my children out and found alternate arrangements for them. The students and staff are all
... Read more rude, ignorant, and disrespectful to a degree I have never witnessed. The staff is the polar opposite of helpful and have made the short 2 years I have had children there some of the most stressful ones of my life. I am truly thankful I will never again have to return to that school for any reason. Read less

Alot of the reviewers here think that our school is one that will never amount to anything, but what they fail to see is the heart that some of the students and the teachers of Karen Wagner High School have, sure we may not be the perfect school, but which school is really? I do attend Wagner High School
... Read more and I am darned proud to be here, those who think like that mus be out of their mind, because I'm sure most of you never even gave our school a chance. Half of the students here clown around way too much but the opposing half believe in making a difference in their world. Some have great dreams like becoming a bio-chemist or going into the medical field, so to those who think that this school is for the birds I pity you. Read less

I believe this school has good potential. Many times it is compared to Judson since were are in the same district, in my truthful opinion both schools are awesome. Wagner is not worse than Judson because they both have their problems. Every school has problems. So neither Judson or Wagner are better
... Read more than eachother. However, Wagner does have more of a diversity of students. It now has great teachers. Wagner does offer the AP program, and it has many great teachers now. The academics is just as good as any other school. As for the problems with violence, violence is in every school. Thats how it is probably always going to be. The sports, band and any other extracurricular activities in the school are also excellent. While Wagner doesnt offer the IB program that Judson does, Wagner has many pragrams in the school that can let students exel. Read less
