Overall, I believe the environment within the school is exceptionally well. My favorite part of school is the ability to be involved in just about whatever sport or club you desire. My worst experience was with a teacher I had as a freshman, but the situation was handled accordingly by the administration. The changes I would like to see is the new gym and classrooms being built sooner and overall a bigger and better audience when it comes to each sport event that goes on.

It is not an over-crowded school like those in Enterpris...

Wicksburg is a great school. Some will not like it because it is small and more personal. Others will love it for that. There are the typical folks who want to be the "big fish" in the little pond, but they are at every school. There are some teachers (not many) that you would not want your kids to...
