This school staff does not care about the kids. All year I have begged, pleaded, complained and showed up trying to get them to pay attention to the flaws in their school. My one of my daughters was bullied and nothing was done. One of my daughters 504 was ignored. They don't handle anxiety or panic attacks at all. The wait to see the nurse averages over an hour. Several teachers have made insensitive comments and are never held accountable. The list goes on and on.

At Wawasee, There's many things to do but the way the students interact with each other is not the best. There's no support within the Music and Sports departments.

While attending Wawasee High School, I participated in as many events as my schedule allowed. Wawasee has always been notorious for being tightly connected to the community around it. The whole community would gather for all of the high school events, which made all of us, high school students and community members, very closely knit with each other. With a close knit community, it has made the Wawasee High School experience nothing but great.

My child has been bullied there and the school never helped. I contacted them about many problems including the ceramics teacher not allowing kids to be creative, how the nurse denied my daughter accommodations and more. Nothing was ever done. There are some gems there but overall my daughters do no...

People at this school, are rude. No one wants to be your friend, that is what some people are. And but why I put 4 stars is cause of the staff being respectful and nice, espicially Mr Walmer.

I am a parent with a special needs child. The school communicates well , and establishes a solid lEP game plan.
