My son enjoyed his time and felt very welcomed and advanced academically during his year at the school.

It is currently my senior year here at WHS, and I've come to really appreciate the diversity this school has especially compared to all the surrounding schools. Traveling to other schools for sporting events for example, you learn a lot of schools have one or two demographics, and everything is basically the same. With WHS you never know what you'r gonna get. From the rural kids, to the inner city kids, the the foreign kids, to the kids who have lived here their whole life, we have it all and we all embrace each-other and this school together. There is also a large population of military children to where you can relate to a lot of people.

I got food poisoning. The school is genuinely terrible. The system on bulling is atrocious. Someone punches or hits you and you both engage into a fight, YOU are the one in ISS. Not the person who hit you.

This is a great school. The faculty is easy to get ahold of, and know each kid by name. Great IEP program and the staff has always worked with me to accomodate my daughter’s needs. There are many special needs students, very caring paraeducators, and volunteers to help. Huge library and well organized parking lot to alleviate traffic. The cafeteria is a FEMA shelter, so even in inclement weather the kids are safe. Staff includes a school psychologist and SRO.

Overall, it was a good experience. Regularly occurring contact between parents and teachers regarding student progress would be helpful considering this age, as issues arise, then there is a rapport. My child regularly complained about favoritism for children, assigned female at birth and kiddos assigned male at birth, were considered often times to be the troublemakers, etc.
