The school falls apart and they allow bullying to happen but I've met wonderful friends along the way and an amazing boyfriend and some teachers are great.

I really enjoy getting the one-on-one attention that comes with this small school. I like that everyone knows everyone. One thing I do not like is how little this school has to offer in some departments. They just started a theatre class last year, but it still has a while to go. We don't have an actual theatrical stage and they don't do musicals. If your child is very artistic and loves theatre, don't bring them to this school. We have a choir and a band, but not an orchestra or a proper theatre department.

Wright City High School is a very active school with many sports, clubs, and other public functions. Wright City High is also thinks very highly of academics and if you show that you are dedicated to this school it will ultimately reward you. Whether it be through assembly awards, special meetings you get to attend to, or even a simple pat on the back from a teacher, Wright City High School always makes sure their hard-workers are recognized.

An absolutely abysmal school. Barely better than staying at home and teaching yourself how to do stuff. Weird kids, mean, and not inclusive. A small town with nothing to do. No good sports, and everybody knows everyone. Did not have a good experience and it did not set me up for a career or a bright...

My school is an amazing school. The teachers are nice and help the students with nearly everything they need, and the resources are abundant.

The teachers don't explain things to the students properly. They send them home with a project to do and my sister wasn't sure how to do the project as the teacher didn't say to make sure to have key points on the project. They were told to just make a billboard and a label for a water bottle. No wo...
