I liked all my classes but there is a lot of judgmental people and teachers who don't take other students into consideration.

What did I like about this school? Well I liked that many teachers wanted to help you, I like that the school was tiny so it was easy to find rooms, students, teachers, etc. What I didn't like about this school was all the testing. My grade (class of 2018) were like gerbils, we tested every test before we actually made it an actual test that had to be passed. Other than that, the school has some amazing teachers and an overall amazing staff.

Most teachers here really do care about our future, and we have teachers that really try harder than others to help us reach our goals. The teachers know what they are doing and they make sure we learn it and that we stay on track. The teachers are full of knowledge. They help us on things we need and try to communicate with us as much as they can. The teachers grade on the work we do, so it's a good idea to do our work.

WWJH/HS is in a isolated area 120 miles for any large city. It is hard to attract quality teachers to an area like this. I have taught at this school for 8 years and have seen good and bad admin and teachers come and go. The good thing abut this bad economy is that we are able to weed out the bad te...
