Wicomico High School is not a school I would recommend to anyone that cares about their education or overall safety. The campus is littered with drugs and violence. There was a fight nearly every day. Academically, the school is very behind. There are few teachers that care about doing their job here. If you plan on attending college, you will not be well prepared after graduating from here.

Being a student at Wicomico High School has taken me to places I have never thought I would go. I am able to be myself in school with no judgment. My peers and teachers are very reliable and it is my great pleasure to say I have enjoyed my first 3 years of high school here at Wicomico High. I can not wait to experience my senior year here as well.

WiHi is a great school. It is often frowned upon, because it is an older school, by the other schools in the county. Almost my entire family graduated from WiHi. I would love to see it get the credit it deserves! It is a great school.

Wi-Hi barely counts as a school, they don't prepare you for college or University, in most cases they don't even expect you to go to college. There are resources that the County provides or programs that could get you ahead in life, but you aren't informed about it. You have to hear from word of mou...

This school is going down hill pretty quickly. Many of the teachers who are experienced has quit and new teachers fresh out of College are coming to teach. They have no experience or guidance and commonly has little to no idea of what to do. Not only that the school also has many misbehaving student...
