I really enjoyed my time at Ware High. All of my teachers cared about my peers and my success. They worked very hard to make sure we all understood the material and were successful. Ware is a small but tight community. You receive support from all over and make strong friendships. Sports were very involved. Games were always packed and large community support for our teams. I'm grateful for being an alum.

Small school so almost everyone is very close. most of the teachers are great and a lot of fun activities as well as spirit to look forward to. Wide range of sports and no uniforms!

Ware junior senior high school will always hold a special place in my heart not only because that's where I will be graduating from in the spring but because this is my community and where I grew up. When I'm at school I feel nothing but safety. Everyone puts their differences aside and looks out of one another. We are a small but yet very connected school community whether we are at sporting events or just in every day classes we constantly cheer one another on. Our teachers always put out education and future as a priority. There has never been a time where I've struggled in school and no one was there to help. There was always another student or teacher very eager to help me.

I'm the mother from a former student. This school isn't worth sending your kids. I myself went to the ware public schools. And these schools were NEVER this bad. Certain staff and students are being accused of whatever the schools could dream up just to get rid of them

If you don't care about your child's safety, then by all means send them to Ware Jr/Sr highschool. My child was bullied from 7th-10th grade. I mean, she was sexually harassed, threatened, had her locker broken into and her belongings destroyed. Not ONE TIME was ANYTHING ever done about any incident...
