Wekiva was for the most part a pretty okay school I have so many good memories there and a lot of the teachers I had there still help me.

Teachers are so unprofessional, they cuss at the students and kick them out sometimes for no reason. They have to follow silly rules, the teachers in general are just so terrible. There are alot of fights and too many disrespectful students.
