Wayne Memorial High school is definitely one of the more underrated schools in Michigan but we definitely have a lot of pride for our studies ,sports and teachers. I myself take AP classes,are in multiple music programs and play sports and this staff are the most helpful and caring people I've ever met.

I want there to be better food. Our lunches are the same three things everyday. They lock half of the bathrooms during the day. So on each of the three floors only one boys and one girls bathroom is open. Which is hard because they only have three sinks and four stalls in the girls bathroom. They don't have enough staff to monitor the halls or outside dismissal.

This school is horrible if you love your child do not send them here. As a student Wayne memorial was horribly detrimental to my mental health. The staff do not truly care about the students, there’s drugs available everywhere, the lunch is horrible, bullying and fights are allowed to take place wit...
