Since I go to a public school, we don't have much money. Our buildings aren't connected so there's always a risk of not being safe. I've always had very nice teachers. Some teachers don't teach and only give busy work. My school isn't very good at sports. Our principals are amazing though.

White Station does a phenomenal job preparing students for college and for life. The academics program is the best in the city.
4/15/2024
The school is very diverse and offers various clubs and activities. However, the students are given a ton of homework work that consumes a lot of time. Overall, WHS is considered one of the best high Schools in Shelby county. It's ranked #1 as the best public high school in Memphis.

There is never any toilet paper in any of the bathrooms, they are disgusting and smell disgusting. People walk around acting a fool hollering and playing loud music and do not get in trouble. It is also winter and we don't even have heat in most classes. Some teachers even use their personal problem...
