Loved the small school with small class sizes. Didn't like how the school handled bullying it seems they didn't care about bullying as much as they should.

My school has been full of surprises and I enjoyed the staff who partake in my education. Unfortunately it's my Senior year but I will tell you that our sports administration has been amazing and I couldn't be more proud of the person I have become. I love our community and one of my favorite subjects is wood shop. My teacher is extremely calm and understanding to all students.

The academics here have prepared my kids for college,...

The principal is a dictator & will not change his mind about anything once he's made his decision even if it goes against the handbook. The biggest problems at Wesclin are bullying, cliques & drugs. If you are new, you won't...

I continue to be disappointed by the by how every little thing has to be run by the principal from class schedule changes to taking a class at a local college. Instead of letting the staff do their job, many things are micromanaged. That is why we have a counselor who is wonderful to work with. When...
