My overall experience at this school was really good. I transferred over during my Junior year, and it was by far the best experience I had. The teachers are involved, and even the students enjoy their time here.

High school for me overall was fine, but it did have its flaws. The bathrooms and hallways were usually dirty or had something broken and throughout the years, they started closing down bathrooms and had only one bathroom available per "gender". I'd say the staff was decent; as i've gotten older, I understood why some teachers acted the way they acted.

My Experience at Wicomico Highschool, was not to bad I didn't have problems with the school at all. It is a very nice community and the staff are always on it, doing their jobs. Students are well behaved and the environment is safe. The worst parts about it, is people not minding their business and instigating things they shouldn't be. I would like If the bathrooms would be well better taken care of.

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...
