Wells Community Academy High School Reviews
Rating 3.59 out of 5 87 reviews
I did not enjoy this high school. This happens all the time a big group of kids sit on the main stairway on the 3rd floor. They will be loud and play music. This disrupts other classes the deans don't do anything they leave them be. This happens every day during all school hours. The security guards do the same. The students that attend this school the majority get away with a lot of unacceptable things. A student brought alcohol inside of school and shared it with her friends and a fight broke out because her friend was intoxicated and wanted to fight someone. Last year there where a group of boys who would jump kids just because they wanted to fight. This school was not safe until my senior year. The only security guard who does their job is Mr. London he helps the kids out and guides them in the right path. The only reason why I attended this school was because of the law program, if this program did not exist I would have never come to this school.
Wells community high school was a great high school. We had a lot of activities, and great supporting teachers, our teachers would try the best to get their students to pass and achieve their goals. Even though Wells wasn’t a great high school, it had everything a student need to graduate and attend activities.
The experience I had with Wells was having interacted with new cultures, people, gastronomy and the educational system because I studied in a Latin American post and entering a high school with new friends was very scary but thanks to the teachers and friends that I knew little to Little made me feel at home. In addition to various talents among the girls' soccer team, school projects and in short, my last year was a lot of fun.
