When it comes to Earl Wooster Highschool it has its ups and downs, education wise and its IB program its really up there. The teachers are not the greatest when it comes to individually reaching out and helping every student because not everyone is the same and should be taught how they are adjusted too.

i would say the worst part of going to wooster was the fights my sophomore year it seemed like there was a new fight every week. It got a lot better when the new admin came my junior year. They cracked down on a lot of rules but I honestly think it was for the best even if some of them were a little excessive at some points. The best part was the people I met and the friendships I made. wooster saved me from the horrible bullying I had at my first high school Robert McQueen. I wouldn't trade switching schools for the world it got me to open up and I ended up with more friends than I had my entire life in my senior year. Our school sprit has also been revived so much it went from no one went to the homecoming games or assemblies to there wasn't even enough room on the bleachers to fit everyone. looking back now I cannot find anything I would change

Overall, I feel pride in my school. It lacks some things, like nice bathrooms, but it adds to the school's character. The only thong I would like to see changed is the lack of school culture and spirit.

I was in the IB program and at the time I hated it. I didn’t realize, though, how much it was preparing me for later in life. Currently I’m serving active duty in the military overseas and taking full time classes through the University of Maryland and I’m surprised how well I’ve been able to manage...

My daughter is in the IB program here as a Freshman, and she is pushed hard every day by her teachers.These teachers may appear to many that they don't care, but to the students that want to get an education and go to college and be something great in life, know how to tap into the teachers and get...
