The school is very diverse, and there is a project lead the way program where students can explore their interests in bioscience, engineering, computer science, or the humanities. The school has fueled my interest in biomedical science and the community is very uplifting.

I would say my best parts concerning this school would be the advanced placement courses, the rigorous and challenging classes, having the ability to expand my knowledge in STEM, and my ability to advocate for myself. Some bad parts are the treatment of some of the teachers/coaches, inability to get some students serious about school, and more.

My experience was good in high school throughout the years since the environment was filled with good students and the teachers were very helpful. I haven't had any bad experiences here but what I would want to change is the amount of important information we get since we are not often told and it makes people lose opportunities.

I love this school. My child has been here all 4 years and I feel like we have won the lottery with Wheaton. My child feels welcomes, supported and challenged. The school works hard to help children succeed, which isn't easy given the population served. Many have English as a second language and par...

Ever since the opening of its new building, WHS has become a great school. Students have wide ranges of opportunities in multi-level courses and academies, school spirit is increasing every year, teachers are attentive and challenge their kids. There are a lot of slackers at Wheaton who don’t put in...
