We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Wayne High School is a great school with plenty of academic opportunities for excellence. Teachers are knowledgeable and easy to talk to. The arts are especially enjoyable and competitive. Some classes could have better content or more attention to specific content. Overall, it is a great community and very supportive.
