Pretty much the only good thing about this school is its choir and theatre program. Con's of the school include bullying being the norm, harassment is and will be tolerated, discrimination is rampant, administrators are incompetent and unable to preform their own duties. Whole school needs a makeover, we shouldn't be losing students.

The best parts about Wayland were how nice the staff and administrators are. They always make me feel very welcome and never judged. The worst parts about Wayland are that the administration does not take consequences seriously.

My time at Wayland was complicated. I spent my years there during the coronavirus time. This means that my experience is slightly odd. I would say that the best part of Wayland was the teachers. I definitely created multiple personal and great friendships with lots of teachers. One thing is change is the guidence councilors. They were very invaluable and secluded. I had to hire an outside company to aid in my pre college planning and admissions. I also had to use my teacher connections to help schedule my high school classes.
