This school has serious issues with instructional consistency and administrative accountability.A teacher’s return was described to families as a “fresh start,” yet within a very short time there were multiple unplanned absences with no advance communication. This caused repeated disruptions and instability in the classroom, directly affecting students’ learning.This does not appear to be an isolated incident. Similar disruptions have occurred before, suggesting an ongoing pattern that has not been adequately addressed. When the same problems continue to impact students year after year, it reflects a failure of oversight and leadership.Children should not lose valuable instructional time due to unresolved staffing and management issues. Based on our experience, it is difficult to recommend this school to families who value consistency, transparency, and accountability in education.

As a current student going to wells high, all I could say is that the teachers, staff, and principal of this school are a blessing. They have years of experience And they are doing 100% of their best to guide us to the right path and NEVER give up on a student if he\she felt if necessary. We may experience mindless fights here and there, but which school doesn't. The teachers, staffs, and principal does their best to steer that troubled teen back on track. This is my 3rd year attending wells high school, from what I've experienced, it'll always be with me. One of my teachers once told me that the story I wrote is talented and it mean alot to me because she is a hard teacher to persuade, but my story persuade her. Just then on, I know my passion is writing. Teachers can inspire you... Teachers can encourage you... Teachers can guide you... Teachers can create a life for you... And I got all that when I decided to come to wells high school. Next year, I'll graduate- but the spirit of wells he would never leave me, for it is the reason I have found the light instead of darkness.
