I am very happy with Wheeler Avenue School. I have multiple children in the school and they are receiving an excellent education. Wheeler has wonderful programs in music, sports, extra help and for the gifted. The teachers are dedicated and communicate well with parents.

Wheeler has surpassed my expectations in some areas but has let me down in others. The music & WHL programs are fantastic. On the academic side I wish I saw more materials. My oldest is going into 5th gradea and I have yet to see substantial homework. Textbooks almost never come home and one math book that came home was from 1988!! We have had great experiences with most of the teachers but the pricipal seems a bit 'out there'.

This school is very good. Although there are some teachers that need to be reevaluated. The principal needs to listen to the parents more and not always side with the teachers. Like I said most teachers are wonderful, but there are still some that may need a change. As far as the music program and extracurricular activities they are great. The music teachers and gym teachers are the best. Although, they should have more for the younger grades. I know my children with also like to do more plays. They only get to do a play in the 1st grade. As far as parent involvement, it is usually the same people that commit. But those parents are very committed in making it a great school.
