Wheaton High School Reviews
Rating 3.95 out of 5 265 reviews
Wheaton High School is an interesting school. In our county we are known as the "rich" school, but in reality we aren't as financially blessed as some may think. The best part of our school would definitely have to be our academic diversity, there are various classes that you can take depending on what you are interested in pursuing in your college career. I also love the diversity among the student body, we are a school mixed with students coming from cultures all around the world. The worst part of my school experience would have to be the multiple threats of violence that we have had in the past few years, but besides that there isn't much not to like about the school. I would like to see change in how some of the staff members treat the students. I would like to see everyone respecting each other equally.
I love the inclusiveness of Wheaton. There are so many clubs and organizations that anyone can join, from robotics to theater to the computer hardware club! If there is nothing to a student's liking, they are encouraged to start their own club! At Wheaton, it is very normal for students to take honors level or AP classes, sometimes 4+ at a time. The administration doesn't really engage with the student body, though. It feels like there is a disconnect between admin and students.
I am currently a senior at Wheaton High School and I would rate my overall experience a 9/10.I love the volleyball team there and it really creates a good community of friends.Most of the students are very driven towards academics and there are many good programs and ways to earn college credit.Not to mention administration is very helpful and they try hard to see their students succeed.The only “bad” parts about my experience was only due to few bad interactions with students, but this is to be expected at every school since there’s always going to be a small handful of kids who will get on your nerves.
