2/23/2025
I have gone to WRHS all 4 years of High School, and one of the things I love the most about this school is the lack of cliques and social divides there are. Sure there are the band kids, art kids, etc. But they aren't heavily stereotyped, and there aren't really 'popular' kids. Overall, it is a nice experience where you get back what you put into it.
4/2/2024
Bathrooms are awful with vaping. Academics are alright, though the science teachers tend to be awful and the math teachers tend to not be very good at teaching. Very good band program.

Wheat Ridge High School is a small welcoming school that tries to make everyone feel valued and welcome.

Terrible I will be pulling my daughter out of Wheat ridge High School for the following reasons. Number one the school and staff completely ignored my custody order at sole decision-making parent and continued to communicate with my daughter's father and not me. number two he told our child twice th...

Sad the good teachers are retiring and the new teachers have not respect for the students. The new teachers come in late, can not handle disruptive students.
6/14/2018
I would describe the student as family. For example, they will have your back, and they are very supportive. But there is no sense of authority. The students are responsible for all disciplinary actions of other students.
