I woudl like to see the school commit to an Performing Arts Center. I have been associated with the school for 10 years and it has been in discussion since then, but not solid to begin the fundraising process to move forward with the much needed additional to the facility.

Teachers are wonderful and passionate about their subjects. Students are mostly kind and helpful. You get to know everyone because the classes are very small. Administration is very conservative and schedules can be awkward.

Worcester Prep was an overall great school. I attended from 6th grade through graduation. Although the teachers and faculty can be stuck in their ways, I think that the traditional and conservative nature of the school served me well. I am hoping that they become more open-minded as the years pass. Would recommend.

I have multiple children at this school. It utilizes a traditional education emphasizing the 3 Rs; this school is for a certain type of student and will not fit all comers. They are about two grade levels ahead of the local public schools with some students advanced beyond this for reading and math....

This school lives in 80s. Desperately needs new leadership to completely revamp all the old thinking.

Thirteen years completed this year with first child graduating and attending Wake Forest University. Three more children in the school and the experience only gets better every year.

As a graduate and current parent, WPS offers an intimate and supportive school environment where classes are small so individual attention may be provided to all. I can't imagine where I would be without WPS and I am grateful to be able to offer my children the same opportunity.
