I just started at wolcott and went through the school. I rather enjoy it but it does have some downs. I'd give it a five but some of teachers and students (mostly the sophomores) bother me a lot.
This High School is certainly a top notch school. Wolcott High offers excellent academics and sports as well as extracurricular activities. The school is known in the area for scoring high on all standardized tests. This school is one of the best in the state of Connecticut.
Wolcott High School is an excellent place to learn whether it be the sports, extra-curriculars or academics. The students have numerous opportunities to succeed.
many people think that students here are the worst behaved but after all we've been through over the years can you blame us? Please understand that we are the way we are because of the heartache and pain we have felt rip to all the angels or schools and town have lost
i moved to wolcott in Jan. and the kids are awful! they are rude and many students do drugs! there is more drama than any other school i have ever been to! i have been to many schools! i certianly believe wolcott high school is above avrerage on the teachers abilitys, but the students are awful! the teachers are helpful.
I think WHS, along with most public high schools,are behind the times. Worrying more about discipline than academics and esteem. My children are losing interest in learning and feel worse about themselves than when they started high school. I think most public high schools could use a real re-vamping starting with including some real computer teaching and removing some of the older, less interested teachers. I see the kids books, they don't look much different than 25 years ago when I was in school. How sad is that? Can't wait to be done with it all. We spend money on a cop at each school, but ask any Senior some basic History questions, and you will see the lack of knowledge. Also, many administrative changes in position over the last 4 years, new principals every year. Can't wait to be done with it all. Just one woman's opinion.
Wolcott High School provides a great education for all students no matter what their needs, wether it be special education or accelerated learning. The teachers and staff are very friendly and always ready and willing to help. Wolcott high school not only teaches you things found in textbooks, but things you need for life. Wolcott High prepares you with the necessary knowledge you need for life.
