While children have had caring teachers and we are deeply grateful for the dedication of our children’s classroom teachers, and building-level staff who show up every day with heart and effort, often working under conditions that lack adequate support and increasing demands. Our overall experience has been overshadowed by persistent failures within the Special Services department—especially around safety, communication, follow-through, and delivery of services our children are legally entitled to. We've raised serious safety concerns through the proper channels, with little resolution or accountability. This isn’t a reflection of classroom teachers, who are doing their best—it’s a systemic issue that needs awareness. To quote another source, “Bayberry is no longer the crown jewel on the hill it once was” Families should be aware that navigating this system often requires significant outside support and self-advocacy. This should not be the norm.

Level of teaching has drastically fallen in last 2 years. The maths teacher doesn't teach anything at all. Children don't know even the basics about fractions, geometrical shapes and their area/volume calculations. Even the way multiplication and division is taught is totally useless. Children can't do mental maths even for basic addition/subtraction steps. This is because the maths teacher doesn't teach absolutely anything.

In awe with all of these reviews. I’ll give you the fact and my experience. 1) Im Hispanic and my children are half Hispanic half black. 2) currently have 2 kids attending WHRHS - a senior and a junior who is severely autistic. My senior is currently in a handful of AP classes and the amount of support she has obtained for college is amazing. Teachers here are gracious, helpful, and fair. The amount of clubs and sports they offer are a lot, and they encourage everyone. As a minority, I teach my children about meritocracy!!! Things need to be based on MERIT, and NOT the color of your skin. So whoever said there is no diversity or inclusivity can kick rocks cuz with hard work and determination, these kids can do what they want. Now, my youngest daughter who is autistic, I have NOT had a great experience at WHRHS. I encourage those with special needs to research appropriate schools for your kids. If your child has behavioral issues, this is NOT the school for them. They do not provide ABA. My daughter has a condition called Trichotillomania (where she pulls out her own hair). She suffers from several stimming issues, and wish I would have tried to put her in a high school that would give her the services she requires. She’s a junior and hoping I can get her in a different school by next year. Needless to say, neurotypical kids at this school will thrive.. neurodivergent won’t depending on the severity. The staff special education teachers are nice, but the personal aides, I have yet to meet them, and they often change. In her previous school I was in constant communication with the aides more than her teachers. Do not expect this from this school.
