We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Honestly if you live in a small poor town like this is isn't bad, but truely not the best. I can teach you and you can earn a daploma, but looking at my spelling you can guess the quality of such things.

Teachers at Wellston High School care about their students graduating, no doubt about that. However when it comes to the success of that student to graduate some teachers just don't put effort in. Few teachers are just so of the wall you can't learn from them because they go from topic to topic. You'll try so hard and no matter the countless times of explaining your struggle to learn as well as the other students the teacher chooses to ignore the f's on all the tests from each student. The teacher would rather put an 800 point bonus in the grade book to make his grades look good than the students actually learning. It can be very stressful as a regular straight A student to try and learn from a teacher who just doesn't teach well anymore but who also has a ten year contract. Overall I love most of my teachers but there are some I don't get any use out of.
