Wheeler High School is one of the best high schools in our area academically. As someone who went to a different and much bigger school in the past, Wheeler was a big positive change for me. Although there are a few teachers with extremely questionable behaviors, the majority are truly amazing.

The staff has always been excellent in ways of both teaching and helping you out if you need it. The staff is also easy to talk to. I've been in several sports at this school and the coaches have all been great. They offer dual credit classes here and give you an optional if internships and vocational as well during your junior and senior years, which is a great opportunity for students to figure what they want to do and get some experience.
