I am an 8th grader at Wendell and I have to say its not as bad as people think! Of course you have those students who just take up space. People fight, curse, skip class, and etc, but what school doesnt have those bad apples? The teachers really care about the students, and sincereley want you to sucseed. There are some problems in the disciplanary actions but overall this is a wonderful school! Go Wolves!!!
Classes offer lots of technology like SMARTboards in every classroom. My child has used a flip camera and other gadgets for learning and he loves it! Discipline can be inconsistent from what I have heard, but my child is happy there. They are starting to do more fun things this year like parent night, club acitivites and pep rallies. They still have to work on more things like this.
This school has gotten some major updates since 2009. We've moved into a new, huge building, with a lot of room. Unfortunately, it's still underfunded. There's 1 textbook for every 3 kids, roughly. It's a great school, but the teachers don't get many opportunities to do much- in fact, the 8th grade is FINALLY getting to go on their first field trip. Nice school, but dealing with funding issues. (Yes, they have lockers, person from 2009.)
Wendell has a great mix of kids and a quality staff that make it an enjoyable place to work and learn.
I love this school the children are challenged and get along very well. When you have a girl the challenges of other girls getting along is a huge deal..
The only thing good about this school are the teachers. They do try and are caring. There is a really rough bunch of kids that go to this school. I am dealing with my child constantly being bullied there and it is never ending. The teachers try to get a handle on the bad ones but it seems that the majority of the kids that are there are bullies. No lockers no text books, no clubs, no extras for the kids.
