I’m disappointed with my experience here. The teachers do not stop the kids from fighting. I believe it’s gang activity. I thought this school would improve by the time my kids reached high school and sadly it’s the same problems as always
Posted by a parent on 6/2/2025The principal, Amy Hanna has greatly increased communication at WGHS. Parents were frustrated with the previous principal, but Ms. Hanna writes an extensive weekly newsletter, holds parent coffees and if available to talk in person if you make an appointment. Her communication, transparency, and abi
Posted by a parent on 12/14/2024It's unfortunate this school used to be good. Unfortunately over the past year it has changed and not for the good. If you're looking for a principle that will communicate with you and treat students with respect & compassion take them somewhere else. It takes a strong leader to make a great school
Posted by a community member on 4/23/2024If your kid can tolerate bullying and feeling excluded, send your kid here. Some teachers seem to just be there for a paycheck. Teachers don't care about someone getting picked on. The AP courses are good, but the school does a poor job of helping students that may not have as great study habits as
Posted by a parent on 3/25/2023Unfortunately, my child’s first year at this school wasn’t a good experience. I am disappointed in the lack of communication and assistance from the teacher and office staff, I would mark this school very low.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a very good school for Chinese and Japanese speaking families. Our son goes here and still is attending. Teachers and kids are great here. Since it's bilingual, the kids dont pick up English as in other schools maybe until 3rd grade. Math is way ahead of the other schools. It may need some work on other subjects, but its a small school with limited resources. The principal (the owner) is too busy on all the matters related to the school. If he is not responding, communicating via the teachers usually works. He and his wife do care about the students. We talked to the principal many times in person before sending our kid there. Bullying is NOT tolerated at this school. During our time here, one student was kicked out due to bullying and abusive language to the teachers. And other bullying activities were disciplined and corrected right away. This may be good or bad depending on how your kids will adapt to the real world. Overall, it's a pretty good school. If parents like the Japanese style teaching and environment, this is definitely the right school for you.Parent Review1y ago - Carden Day School
