Wells High School is small, close knit, very active in extra-curricular activities, and friendly. It has some wonderful teachers who are strong in the community but it also has a lot of teacher turn over. The education could definitely be improved.

My Experience at Wells High was pretty fun. It was a very small school so you were pretty close to almost everyone in your class and made close relationships. Although it was a small school, there were tons of clubs I participated in that made high school even more fun. These included, FFA ,yearbook, student council, leadership, basketball, volleyball, and track as well.
