I love this school, I just graduated a few days ago and got to say goodbye to all my favorite people. I definitely made many memories.

Wheeler is definitely a very open school, but in the same way as a student I do feel limited on knowledge of programs we offer, and often things being word of mouth due to outdated website information.

Wheeler has been very good for preparing me for college and a future career, especially in the magnet program.

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.
