This morning was the first day for my 6th grader and they said no parents on campus,so we couldnt come with him to get his schedule and they had parents on the campus which I was confused about because they said no parents on campus.And the only person I had contact with was this light skinned lady with braids in her head,was so freaking rude and slammed my car door so hard,I guess she had an attitude and wasn't ready to come back,idk but I just hope moving forward I don't have to deal with this woman ever again, Honestly it's kinda of sad that you have to leave this kind of review with a school because some of the staff is just awful on the first day of school.

The communication is not the best. They usually send notices late. The car pick up line has been so disorganized for years because they don’t help cars merge fairly. They seem to hire a lot of new teachers every year and that could be great or could be bad depending on the teacher. But clearly not many teachers teach here long term.

This school is hit or miss. Our oldest went all four years had a mostly positive experience and we got very familiar with some great teachers and guidance staff. However, your youngest child has had a nightmare experience over the last four years. Bullying was off the charts, my kid’s mental health seriously suffered, a specific teacher who had the most influence and could make or break my kid’s learning & high school experience chose to participate in the bullying instead of stopping it. This teacher has made countless inappropriate comments in front of his students. When brought to the principals attention, he tried to gaslight my concerns. Unbelievable behavior. While there are some great teachers at Wharton…there are great teachers all over, pick a different school if you can.
