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.

The academic load and difficulty at Wheat Ridge High School was fair and challenging but their overall environment, faculty, and teachers needs to be evaluated better.
12/25/2022
Wheat Ridge High School is a small welcoming school that tries to make everyone feel valued and welcome.

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.
