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.

Wren high school overall is a good school. They prepare you for college and have challenging classes that help prepare you academically. A downside would be that many of the teachers are older; they often use older tactics for teaching that many younger students don't always pick up easily. However, a majority of the teachers are dedicated and their love for teaching shows through their work.

When I first started Wren, it was covid year and we didn't have much to do. During later years before I graduated, the whole school came together as a family for pretty much everything after that. We all supported each other as peers and had support from faculty and staff.

If you like having information and assignments crammed down your children’s throat this is the place to be. To me this is just a horrible way to teach. They don’t even give the students books. I had to buy them for my student so they could learn the material from a broader spectrum. Everyone learns...

I agree with the review about athletic politics. I personally have known people that have moved just so their children would get a chance to play sports. Academically they’re no better my child has had at least one teacher a year in major subjects that is an awful teacher one of which was a coach th...
