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.

The best part about Wheeler High School is that the culture and community is so dense. Everyone gets together for sporting events and musical performances. The worst part was the separation of the Magnet students and the STEAM students to the regular students.

Overall, I believe Wheeler High School is an excellent school for anyone, regardless of religion or background. I came from a small school in Massachusetts that offered no clubs, had mediocre sports, and no diversity. Ever since coming to Wheeler, all of this has changed. From the many interesting clubs to great sports and facilities, my school offers pretty much everything a high schooler could wish for.

Very awful school. Administration doesn't care if your getting bullied. They don't care about the students at all. Fights all the time and overall just not a safe environment.

The administration seems to believe that confusion is a form of leadership. Good luck getting a straight answer from anyone. As for the teachers, while a few genuinely care, many seem like they’re just waiting for retirement—or a break from dealing with overcrowded classrooms and unclear policies.

I feel like this school is pretty good as I moved over in 10th grade, and have mostly enjoyed my time here. Although some of the teaching is not great, I believe that there is a good culture and mostly reasonable teachers.
