I would say that this school is a great D1 School to attend. There are many parts about that make it not only special, but make it stick out from the rest. The teachers are very helpful with the students, and the programs, like sports, arts, clubs, are all great programs that are able to keep the students involved with their hobbies. The administration has worked very hard to make this school a safe and efficient place to learn, and I feel like they have done a very good job with this. Overall, it's a great place to learn, and I would want my kids, or anyone else that has kids to attend this school because it's a great place to learn.

Teachers are overall extremely passionate about their job. Connection with other students can be difficult at times since our goals may not not align, finding it hard to be free of judgement. Discrimination is apparent but difficult to address as repeated offenses have occurred with little consequences. It can be difficult to feel apart of the team when the only goal is to get high school over with.

Almost all of the faculty at Evere...

If you are in the Wausau area, do not send your child to DC Everest High School. Homework is not enforced. You either do it or you don't and you are not given consequences if you did not do the homework. Some teachers are very good, the band teacher, Mr Finnegan, English teachers Mr Fike and Ms Kell...

I attended this high school and graduated in 2012. If you are a parent looking for a school to send your child to, then I pray that you don't choose this one. The principle, Tom Johansen, is terrible. In my time I spent attending the school one of the art teachers had retired which left the school w...
