This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

1/28/2024

WMHS is a high school that gives you just as much as you might need and nothing more. While it does prepare students for college, it does so in a way that barely gets you there. The building itself is old and constantly is broken. Education is decent, but it really depends on the teachers. However, extracurriculars are some of the state's best, like sports (football) and music (marching band).

I love the teachers and how much effort they put in to see their student succeed but the school building itself is very old and needs to be redone.

3.0 Alum

5/24/2022

The teachers were nice for the most part, and it was pretty accommodating for my learning disabilities. Socially things could have been better (not much was done about bullying).

Its horrible! Front office staff are great, Mrs. Trafficanti is awesome, the resource officer is great, but the actual school day is very difficult for my child. She always txts me to pick her up. She is incredible shy and sensitive and doesn't do well with her math teacher screaming at her!!

3.0 student

4/30/2019

The school building is crumbling and conditions are gross. At least one-third of the teachers are selfish, self-centered with no clue how to effectively teach. The rare good teachers are amazing though, and the arts program can only be beat by those really rich schools.
