I have been very happy with the experience and education my child has received at Wahl Coates. The school really does seem to identify the needs of the students as individuals and address those needs by giving additional attention and assistance and/or adding academic challenge into their day! The staff has always created a feeling of "family" and acceptance.. Wahl Coates also has created a culture of character amongst not only their staff but also the students creating a high expectation of kindness and respect.. We love this school.

After joining this school, my child's progress stalled with the emotional insecurities that surrounded the learning environment. This place does not encourage out of box thinking or creative thought processes and made my child lose that spark in coming to school to learn.

Throughout my four years of being in this school. Never in my life have I ever seen so much racism and bullying. To begin, some teachers there get bullied by the students. One to a point where the PRINCIPAL had to take over the class and teach a subject that hes not even QUALIFIED to teach! no degree regarding the discipline nor any notable works that can prove that he can teach that discipline. As for the students, its not the most healthiest community. Everyone is very divided into their own groups, and I understand that every school has their own student groups and all. But in this school, there is little to no interaction from one group to another at all. As for school resources, I don't think that they are offering enough resources to help students reach goals such as getting accepted into Ivy leagues, or help them create their own original work. That was also the reason why I left to go find another school that can offer me the help i need to actually make my own work and actually make an impact in my community. As for clubs, they are very sports focused, which is good. But one major problem is that the choir class has little to none. While I was in that school, I was the only student in the class who was in choir. And perhaps they had more students in choir (Most came from elementary school), but from what I've seen, I haven't seen a lot of high school students take choir, if any, a handful. As for the food, its good. Mostly food from different restaurants around greenville, NC. So in that area, nothing to complain about. I will say, though. They are not the most accepting if you have any noticable differences (E.g LGBTQ+, Certain interests, etc...) within the student body. At least for my class and perhaps some others, they were extremely toxic if you had any odd differences. As for sports, great, very great. Their soccer and basketball team is extremely good (from what I've heard, i usually don't go to the games) and we play very very well. So ill leave some praise there. Overall, Its not really my pick if I had to pick a school for my son. I think public school would be better with the resources public school offer. (e.g more APS, there is a lack of good APS in Trinity, only 2 when i was there.) and Its just not the best school if your son/daughter/child wants to genuinely reach for the skies and make a change in the community.
