Wayne County High School

Spent 6 years in the Wayne County school system and graduated from there. I excelled, or at least thought I did, and then went on to college and could barely pass. While I was there, test results showed our county, academically, was at the bottom of the pack. Obviously I had no control over where I attended high school, but if your kids have another option, TAKE IT! While there I saw other kids struggle in areas and a large majority of the teachers were unwilling to help them or put in extra time with them. I struggled with math for a while and my mother had to hire an outside tutor to help me. It's just not the place to be to succeed in life.

WCHS is a very well educated school. I mean every school has its ups and downs but for the most part WCHS has its ups! Our school is very involved with the sports...we encourage all students to be involved as well. The school has won very many awards and such for the great sports teams that we have! Our parents are also very involved...their are progress reports sent home, phone calls made if student is tardy or absent to school, and many other ways we let the parents know how their child is doing. The safety in this school is amazing. Their are about 32 video camera's all along the school as well. Over all WCHS is a great school where your child will not only get a well education but will also make many great friends!

This is an awful school. Everything is awful. They do not prepare you for anything outside of Wayne County. I feel like I am so far behind in my classes at college because I was never taught the fundamentals of certain areas. At the most only 15 stundents go on to college at this school. If you just want to know enough material to get by in a factory or retail job, then Wayne County High School is the best place to go.
