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.

Wellesley high is a great place to attend school. Academics are rigerous, but teachers want you to succeed. Strong school spirit as "raider pride" is woven within the culture of the school. People are friendly and sociable. I have built strong connection and web of friends, especially through sports.

Best parts would include the actual education and opportunities I have been afforded by going to the school: ex would include school trips, AP Classes and Sports Teams. Down sides would include the social climate and the grading system at 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...

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.
