Wheeling high school is a very school spirited school, I would like to see a little more diversity in classrooms and more news on school event

11/17/2025

My Experience as a former wheeling student wasn't what I expected it to be because the students were no good to the ones that chose to be alone or the quiet students. I was one of them tbh. People say that high school is one of the best times at your age but it wasn't for me whether it's with other students that I met or talked to because most of the students I met were weird and not nice. I really wanted to change schools but it was gonna be a lot for my parents so I didn't and went with the flow and finished all my four years at wheeling.

This is one of the worst schools in district 214, the lowest. I honestly don't understand why parents, students, and teachers say this is better than Prospect or Hersey academically, Despite what they say about the programs they offer to students. Most of them don't really care about their classes o...

Some people can't understand why some families don't want to put their kids in Wheeling high school? Because of liw education, because of some population, because they don't have dress codes, because of teachers with a body art on their body. ,,,,, because of piercing and all this horrible things.

I think that the greatschools.org rating is very misleading and I'm so glad I disregarded it. Both of my children are currently students at Wheeling High School. As a parent, I feel very safe and secure sending my children there. Both children are in AP classes and several activities. My daughter is...
