Wethersfield high school has been very helpful in my growth as a student athlete. It has given me everything I needed in every field from math to English to sciences etc. I have had exact access to any recourses I need and more. The best part of Wethersfield high school is that all the teachers want to have a relationship with each student to allow them to maximize their learning experience. The worst part would be the athletic facilities. Some sports fields such as the football and soccer field are in good condition but the baseball field and other fields need work. As do some indoor athletic facilities do as well. I would like to see this change in the near future.

The best parts of my experience at this school is the fact that it encourages talking or grouping to people you never got to know, especially in all grades (freshman get the short end of the stick). The worst parts has to be the amount of work received by some teachers, ever since they've switched from an A-B day style to cramming 6 classes a day like the middle school. There's less time to do your work, and more time to do it at home. Especially for those with clubs or extracurricular activities, it's hard to manage.

School terminated me without specifying what I did wrong. They also didn't pay me the wages that I worked for, which is against the law. Have fun explaining that to the EEOC!

The entire Wethersfield Public Schools system is nothing but a joke if you want your kids to actually learn something go elsewhere. Trust me I went K-12 and was always treated like an idiot. It wasent cool how the office staff took there anger out on the students. Once the secretary told me to get o...
