This school is not good here. The better reviews were a decade old, the school has a bad air conditioning problem and im always falling behind, sweating, and getting picked on. Work on your school because I dislike it.
Posted by a student on 9/24/2024Hate it here. This school is overwhelming, unprepared, and most importantly, doesn’t take bullying accountably. There is a lot of kids that get away with mean disrespectful disruptions in this school and most of the para helpers are false, absolutely untrained, and don’t try to understand the studen
Posted by a community member on 9/23/2024It's great here. The teachers and staff here are really kind and caring. You won't regret going here unless you want to make your experience bad.
Posted by a student on 7/13/2015My students had a great experience at WJHS, and the middle school (Highcrest). The principals and teachers were impressive in their depth of knowledge regarding academics, educational innovations and the social pressures of tweens/teens. They felt supported and were definitely felt prepared to succe
Posted by a parent on 5/25/2015I've had two children move from WJHS to New Trier, and one more on the way. Coming from WJHS, my children were 100% prepared for the rigors of high school. And, they confided to me that they felt like kids from WJHS were more prepared than students from other "sender districts". WJHS is indeed a fai

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDuring our time at the school, leadership changed frequently, including multiple principals, assistant principals, the Dean of Students, and many teachers. Students faced bullying that often went unaddressed, and as a parent, it seemed staff were discouraged from reporting problematic or concerning student behavior they observed in classrooms or on the playground.Parent Review4mo ago - St Joseph School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageNorth Shore Country Day has given me the best high school experience imaginable. With the small classroom sizes and close knit feel, I have been able to grow exponentially as both a student and person. With a heavy focus on public speaking in the classroom, I have grown increasingly comfortable to share my own thoughts out loud and have been challenged academically. Along with this, I have really thrived socially. The school fosters a super accepting culture and really the biggest problem is people can be too soft...I have loved my past four years and would not change my decision to come here. Trust, you will find your people you just have to be willing to speak to everyone.Student Review2y ago - The Barbereux School
