I loved this school and am and always will be happy about saying that I graduated from here. The best part was the teachers. They were all so kind and willing to talk with you about academics and about life in general. They were all passionate about their classes and were the best. The worst parts was the lack of diversity. As a hispanic student it was always strange to be around so many people who weren't like me but that was not the schools fault.

Wheeler is a small school community. There is always someone there to help, guide and you feel supported. There are many opportunities to take advantage of academics, sports, and clubs. There is a small student to staff ratio which makes the classroom feel like you get individualized attention.

Wonderful teachers … great administration. The smaller classrooms are also a plus. These children are not just numbers … but individuals that teachers can concentrate on. We are small but we are mighty. #Wheelerpride

School is very small. Some classes that should be offered are not; IE anatomy and physiology. Some A/P classes are taught on 'every other year' basis due to qualified teacher only being able to teach one class per year. Honors students are challenged. Mediocre students need to have parents advocate...
