I like this school. The clubs this school offers are great! I wish I would have been more involved my freshman year. The only thing I don't like is that the clubs don't get as much recognition as the athletics.

Terrible. Horrible. My children still suffer trauma from the rotten experiences there. I realize there are new people now, but the school board is the same bunch of idiots.

Massive turnover in staff has really hurt this school. Test scores really reveal a lot about the quality of teaching, which is very poor in math, and steadily declining in the other areas. There are big problems with high rates of teen pregnancy, drugs, under-age drinking, and parent-hosted drinking...

This school has improved the last couple of years. The school board is getting better as is the parental involvement, school unity and teacher quality. Additional improvement needs to be made but WHS is on the upswing.
