This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

5/31/2025

Teachers were good and overall cared about their subjects and students and want you to succeed. The level of difficulty for many classes was often times dependent on the teacher, not the level of the class. I would've liked better support for out of state colleges from guidance counselors.

5.0 Senior

It creates a strong community through small interpersonal groups of all different ages. Additionally, it alues academic excellence, yet also allows for students to be creative through allowing a variety of electives and extra cirriculars (clubs, sports, theatre, etc.). Overall a great school.

5/24/2023

I was highly active in high school by being a class officer, two presidents for clubs, founding a club, and three-sport captains. I was always seeking a way to make Wellesley High School better. The staff was supportive of me as I aimed to change the school.

There seems to be a lot of commun...

My experience has been a mixed bag--some really good teachers and administrators, and some who seem friendly enough but really have no idea how to identify or help a student when things start going wr...

(One of the previous reviewers should know better than to write "alot." The correct way is "a lot.") Many thanks to the wonderful English teachers at WHS....and all the others who cared so much about each student. I cannot wait for the new school facilities to open in February.
