Not a particularly great experience in my opinion. There are only 2 total AP classes offered but there is a plethora of dual credit classes to help make up for it. I have had almost exclusively good relationships and experiences with teachers. The lunch is atrocious as well as the administration.

My experience going to Wayne high school has been amazing. I was able to find the right classes for me. Some of the project that I've been assigned has taught me how to be more outstanding. Plus, I have presented projects out of Wayne high school. I was able to communicate with others very well and have a good collaboration with my classmates. And to be honest I wouldn't change nothing because mostly everyone at Wayne high school respect one another.

Is the lack of trust with the student, the teacher, the transportation company? Is it because of institutional mediocrity and judgmental self sufficiency that Wayne is...

As a parent, I notice the best reviews are from current students who have not attended good educational systems or from teachers who have personal bias in the subject. Wayne consistantly scores below average in all areas and does not promote or support students who try to reach higher educational ma...
