GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Feels very cozy and you can really feel like you're apart of the community here! Great teachers who make sure you're learning everything you need to know. The only thing wrong with the school that could use a bit of a fix is the scale as it is quite small.

Its not such a big school so you can get one on one time with your teachers if need be. I would like to see teachers stay there longer than just one year.

I have grown up with not only the amazing students at WCHS, but also the fantastic staff and directory. The teachers are always willing to help if you need anything. WCHS only wants what is best for their students and offer the sky as a limit to help these students achieve their goals.

Wheeler County Elementary is an amazing place. The family like atmosphere is evident in each grade level. I am so blessed that my children have been able to attend a school where the teachers that touch their lives seem to care about them as much as I do. Thank you WCES for a great experience!

Great school with small population. Students are not just a number. Staff truly cares about students and their well being. They are adding new programs to meet the needs of the students such as soccer, wrestling, chorus, etc. A well kept secret!
