Ward Melville Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.78 out of 5 496 reviews
Ward Melville HS has many different elective options to help you figure out what subject you want to major in college and to help you consider different career paths. The teachers are typically very helpful and make the classroom setting fun. My chemistry teacher was my favorite! He brought his dog to school sometimes and he joking nature made the class fun!
The food overall isn't healthy and the hot food choices are pretty limited. This isn't the worst thing to be wrong with a school, but I wish this was better.

I am currently studying in Ward Melville High School. Good and very friendly environment. The teaching is especially good, they provide different courses that students would enjoy and pursue in their universities or colleges. All the friends i have made are extremely nice and always cheerful. I love the fact that they have great sports teams in Ward Melville High School, since i am a football and baseball player. The one thing i love about this school is that the teachers are extremely nice and very supportive of their students.
My experience at Ward Melville High School was really good. This school creates an inclusive environment and prepares students for the real world. The education I received was very good and I think students have the perfect balance of freedom while still being controlled. The school was very safe, I never had any issues. Most teachers and staff members were reasonable and nice. All in all I wouldn't change what school I went to because I believe that this is the best school in this area not only academically but in every way.
