Wheeler High School

Both of my children graduated from this school and are doing well in a very difficult University. Both students made D1 athletic teams and both are very happy with their time at Wheeler. We could not be more pleased with our decision to attend and be involved at Wheeler as a family. The challenging academics and the opportunity to participate in sports made Wheeler perfect for us.

Wheeler High School has just been named one of 4 schools in the entire state of Georgia, and only the second high school to be awarded STEM status by the Georgia Department of Education, recognizing Wheeler's tremendous focus and effort on preparing students for math, science and technology backgrounds and post secondary success. That along with terrific teachers, a positive school climate and now with all the new buildings, Wheeler is the high school to emulate in the Cobb system. So many students beg to get in but are turned down. Wheeler is the place to be in Cobb.

Wheeler is one of the best high schools around in cobb county. Of course every school has its ups and downs, but in general wheeler is a great school. Kids are evaluated to the extreme by their instructors, I personally love love love my teachers. They enforce my teammates and I to succeed in everything we are tasked. I enjoyed every semester I spent here at wheeler, and now I'm ready to graduate. I will miss this school dearly.

Although I am in district for Walton High School, I decided to attend the magnet program at Wheeler and I am so glad that I did! The magnet program is a great program because you are still involved with the rest of the school. As a senior this year, there are so many cool activities that I get to share with the entire senior class such as the ice cream truck that was brought in last week to give us all free ice cream! I feel so proud to be graduating from this school! Love it!

Wheeler is ranked high on many "best high schools" lists and I can certainly see why! They offer a wide variety of programs to the very diverse student body. My child is extremely involved in their band program and journalism class and I could not be more happy with their academics! The teachers are amazing and the guidence office is always helpful!

Both of my children attend Wheeler having come from private schools in Atlanta. The education they are receiving is exceptional thanks to the professional, dedicated teachers and support personnel. Many are there very early in the morning or later in the afternoon/evening to assist the students or sponsor clubs. Wheeler's block schedule has allowed them to explore additional interests. Rather than the bubble a private school might offer, Wheeler gives them the opportunity to get to know a diverse group of students.

I attend wheeler high School myself, and I would strongly recommend the school. The teachers are excellent, and we just received a new principal that is outstanding. The school is VERY diverse, and the students all different . Yes, there are the usual conflicts, but what school doesn't have these problems. I love Wheeler . Great School. Plus the school will soon be rebuilt. Great School . :)

I attend Wheeler High School. I pretty much hate it here, it's dirty, it's ugly, I feel uncomfortable here. There are too many conflicts (fights). It's a place you look foward to leaving. The principal and staff are great! Just..the students are horrible, that brings the whole school down.

I would say that Wheeler is an excellent High School. My daughter who is now in her 2nd year of College was well prepared for college. All students have to do a Senior project as part of their grad requirements, by far the best idea that this school could have come up with. They have to actually choose a career and work with a mentor in that field. My daughter wanted to major in Accounting and was paired up with an excellent mentor who gave her a lot of information. She later realized that she loved math, but instead of Accounting have choosen to Major in Chemical Engineering. Without the Senior project she may have choosen the wrong career. This school prepare her on all levels. The parents are very involved on all levels. School spirit, is a WOW! LOVE THIS SCHOOL...

We have 2 sons in the special education program at Wheeler and have gotten to know the teachers and school very well. We're totally impressed with the dedication of the teachers and the friendliness of the students. I've never seen a high school like this. While a lot of people in East Cobb favor Walton, they don't know what they're missing at Wheeler.

Wheeler High School provides qualified teachers and capable and available administrators. Our daughter recieved a top-notch college prep education as a student in the Science Magnet program. The science magnet provides the latest technology in labs and classrooms as well as an accelerated math and science cirrculum including over 6 years of science by the end of high school. The school also does an excellent job providing a quality education for all members of our diversified community.

We chose Wheeler when we moved to Marietta. It has both ethnic and economic diversity as well many excellent teachers and advanced courses. My children were educated in the 'real world' and are grateful that we made the right choice. There is a place for everyone at Wheeler as well as the opportunity and support for success.

Average school at best. I had two children attend Wheeler and was disappointed with the results. The magnet program raises the scores for the school and covers for some of the less visible issues, e.g., increasing transient population. One of my children went the entire four years and did not write one research paper, and the senior project was a joke! If this is a great school in Georgia, no wonder we are ranked at the bottom in the country for education.

Excellent school! It's like getting a private school education at a public school. Caring teachers and staff. Wide array of classes to meet the needs of a diverse population. Great magnet school for math, science and technology. The best in the county.
