Being in this school is alot of fun, and they are trying their best to help prepare us for college, but i wish there was more push into it. Some kids need to sit down and talk with the councilors, but may not have time due to classwork, or lunches.

Weir High School is a safe learning environment that allows students to grow in a positive way. Administration genuinely cares about their students. If I could change one thing it would be the sports program. Many athletes get looked over & I feel that some are not given the same opportunities as other athletes.

Awful. Teachers are sexist and harass students. There’s no funding to the arts; nothing was there to prepare a student for college.
