2/6/2024
I feel like Wheeler High School is a good school to go to. The small amount of students make it easier to get help from the teachers and the teachers all really care. The administrators know the students and can have conversations with them and remember things.

Best part- good teachers, worst is the food, it is almost inedible and lockers are small. Classes are too long
4/8/2022
I think that the teacher and students are very nice here. Academics can be lacking sometimes however. The students are only offered a small amount of AP classes or dual enrollment classes and we aren't guaranteed a teacher who knows 100% what they're doing and are engaged with the class. But overall, the staff is very kind and the extra curricular are very good.

Very student focused. Great relationship between school and community when parents take account of their child's education.
