Wellesley High School has given me amazing education, and the teachers are very supportive of their students. The school culture is generally very uplifting and positive, however, there is a major lack of racial diversity.

The teachers and classes at Wellesley high school were very high quality and rigorous. However, there is a strong atmosphere of competition and comparison amongst students, and pressure to succeed runs rampant. The performing arts department is very strong and well funded.

Overall though, WHS has a lot of different elective and course offerings, and I am happy with my experience here so far.

Two of our four child...
