My daughter graduated from WBHS in 2009 and started in Montevallo. A friend of hers went to Samford. Both were straight A students in high school. Both dropped out of college because they weren't prepared and couldn't handle it. Now my youngest will be going to WBHS next year unless I can somehow manage to move over the summer. (I'm trying!!) As with all school systems, you have the "populars" and other cliques. Some of the teachers care and some don't. (Tenure should be outlawed.) Football is a huge deal, but they also have several other sports. Nothing really that isn't sports related, though. The area itself is very "good ol' boy" and outsiders will never fit in. Also, it's a very poor area and a lot of things are pretty run down. I've never seen it first-hand, but my doctor says drugs are highly prevalent. A lot of inbreeding and trailer trash. I can't wait to get out of here and give my second daughter a better chance than my first one had. Wish I'd realized it back then.

This school is and ok school. The food is good, (coming from a student) the staff and faculty is nice but sometimes the teachers can be a rude and a little demanding.

I am very disappointed with how a recent incident involving my son was handled. My nephew was intentionally hurt by another student, and while I do not encourage violence, I also expect fairness and understanding when situations escalate. When I came to address the issue, the focus seemed to be placed more on my nephew’s reaction rather than the actions that led up to it. It was concerning to hear him described as “aggressive” without fully acknowledging that he was responding to being physically hurt. As a parent, I expect school leadership to take a balanced and unbiased approach when dealing with conflicts between students. Every child deserves to feel safe and supported, and every situation deserves to be looked at in its entirety—not just one side of it.I hope the school takes time to reflect on how situations like this are handled moving forward, ensuring that all students are treated fairly and that concerns from parents are heard with empathy and understanding.
