The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Wren is a wonderful school, and I'm sure my grades can reflect that. The teachers are always willing to help, and so are the other administrators. I couldn't have gone to a better high school.

Wren is a good school when it comes to academics but my experience is bad the teachers are pedo and rude they don't care about you just see you as a paycheck. I can't name one good teacher I had. But if you want your kid to learn then send them but if you want them to have a good experience then don't.

I graduated Wren High School in May of 2023. I truly had a great experience. I loved the staff and students at the school. I have been involved in the Wren community since I was in elementary school. It was truly a great environment.

If you like having information and assignments crammed down your children’s throat this is the place to be. To me this is just a horrible way to teach. They don’t even give the students books. I had to buy them for my student so they could learn the material from a broader spectrum. Everyone learns...

I agree with the review about athletic politics. I personally have known people that have moved just so their children would get a chance to play sports. Academically they’re no better my child has had at least one teacher a year in major subjects that is an awful teacher one of which was a coach th...
