There is just to much they have to fix they are more worried about how it looks on paper then teaching and helping kids learn

As a student in the high school, I personally would recommend this school. Ive met the assistant principal and the principal more than a few times, and they are so kind to students. So far this year ive seen ZERO fights, reporting bullying works faster then you think and administration is super respectful when coming to reporting people. I would love to tell yall how much the SRO saved me from seniors in the bathroom. Students here are pretty friendly, some are quiet , but some will get really friendly with other students. The classes here blew me away!! I love cooking classes, aviation classes, engineering classes, and more. You will meet new people if you join clubs, people there are super friendly and chill.

Academically this school is great. My child has excelled so far at this school, and has had the opportunity to be a part of the great music program at this school. This school also offers the chance for students to be involved in sports in the 7th grade, which my daughter is very excited for. The only reason I did not give this school 5 stars is because of the lack diversity. Because of this my child has had the unfortunate experience of having some of the white students use a racial slur towards her while on the school bus and also racist jokes are sometimes shared on the school bus. Although the school bus is not the "school" building itself, the lack of diversity or at least the exposure to other cultures makes for unwanted and uncomfortable situations for students of other backgrounds besides whites, and this in turn does affect the school experience overall. The discipline method at this school does seem good and fair from my experience so far, I have not felt ignored when I have shared any concerns. I am hoping that as the students get older and form bond with other students of different ethnic backgrounds, that these incidents would occur less.

This school offered my children so many opportunities. The teachers were always accessible and did a great job with both of our children. Thank you WNIS family.
