Wren High School

This high school is TERRIBLE. I had above a 4.0 and my parents were very involved in my academics and it is still awful! A principle probably left the last comment posing as a student. The school is so worried about what they look like, they treat the students very poorly. They find stupid reasons to expel students because they are too dumb and make the school look bad, instead of helping them. They make us act like robots and it feels like a jail walking into school. The happiest day of my life was graduation day. We only won Palmetto's Finest because there was no one left to give it to. The administration is not fair and harass students. The bathrooms stay trashed and gross and the food is soggy and cold. The hallways leak when it rains. They force you to take classes you will not succeed in such as Calculus when you are going to be a Journalism major in College. And the administration are control freaks.This school is terrible!don't go here!

I love this high school. We just won Palmetto's Finest(which means that Wren High School is the BEST high school in the STATE) and this award is a BIG deal. They have great athletic programs, teachers are worried about the students grades, disipline is handed the way it should be, and the staff is very kind and determined to help.

My oldest son has been in the Wren schools since 4th grade and he has loved every year, and my youngest has been in there since he was able to start school (he is now in middle school). I have not had any bad experiences like the ones that have been posted by others. The faculty at each school has been great. I think alot of the bad reviews that are being posted are from "parents" that are not active in their childs education. I feel that if they were they would have probably had a better experience with the faculty. Sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees, meaning maybe it was your child that was the problem and not the faculty and staff at the school. Wren (elementary, middle, 9thgrade academy, & high) is an awesome school community and as long as the parents, teachers, & staff of the schools are all in agreement that the child education is what they are there for, you should have a great experience like myself and my child. I highly recommend Wren schools to anyone.

Wren High is exellent so far (9th grader). The teachers are very impressive, discipline is well handled. Wren grads are well respected academically at South East Universities. If we could just keep them safe in cars, this would be a perfect school.

I don't like this school at all. Teachers and other staff employees have 'favorites' and also they are not fair to some students in some disiplinary actions. The school is very 'clicky'. Kids are labeled, I can see (but I dont agree) why some kids end up quitting school. They need to be more positive towards the students. Thank god this is ,my last child to go to Wren.

As a Alumni of Wren High '07 I feel that it is a wonderful school for kids who are focused on going to class, learning, and graduating with a high school diploma. It was a wonderful school for me. I had my ups and downs like all teenagers do. But I also had some of the most dedicated teachers in the state. Mr. Kastner my econ teacher sat down and helped me throught all the tough times I was going through in high school. And the staff would help in any situation. Thanks!

As a former Wren student, and having experienced how other High Schools throughout the state function via younger siblings, I feel I have a good foundation for argument. First let me say that I hated my time at Wren, but will admit that its a decent school. Average, even though it's reputation would state otherwise. The faculty does an ok job running the school efficiently, but I found at times they were too worried about enforcing the rules. So much so that it interfered with what they are there for - to provide a good education to their students. The teachers are pretty good, but not overly concerned with assisting the kids who really need help. Cliques: Ya'll need to concern yourselves with the fact that some teachers get involved with the Cliques. Forget the students. Also, Wren does test well, but most students come from good families.It's not the education.

Wren sxhool is a great sxhool that is constanly growing.

I am a former student of Wren High School and absolutly loved the time I spent there.I feel I received a top quality education and had wonderful teachers that would bend over backwards for their students. Now that I am a mother, I would not send my child to any other school other than Wren. The Wren Community is very welcoming, the teachers and staff are exceptional and there are tons of extra curricular activities and sports to keep you occupied. I believe most of the reviews on here were correct and was a little upset to see a few not so good reviews. I can only speak for myself, but I truly believe that this is a wonderful school and will not send my child anywhere else when that time comes. I highly recommend Wren to anyone thinking of moving to this area. You will not be disappointed.
