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.

Too small-could not find a group of friends to connect . Not enough extra curricular activities-not enough of a selection.

The best part of wheeler is the great small school feel. All the teachers students and parents know each other on a first name basis. This makes communication between students parents and faculty very simple. If a student needs extra help their teachers are always there to help and show a genuine desire to see their students succeed both academically and socially. Overall we love this school and it's great comradary between all aspects of my kids education.

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

Teachers are always available. Programs exceed expectations. For a small school, it is able to offer some amazing opportunities.

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...
