im a senior at wgner and i have to say. that wagner has it drowns but there are so many good there are clubs and a great band yea we got second at state and a good football and batsketball team the teachers are alsome and the student are nice i say wagner is one of the best school i have been to .
My son is graduating from Wagner this year. I have to agree with some of the students that say that all schools have issues. Each year Wagner is making progress!! In the near future Wagner could become a great school! Keep the faith and give this school a fair rating and chance. By the way, I love the principal, Milton Fields. He's doing an excellent job with students that don't follow the rules! Also, why is the option only a maximum of 5 stars, but the rating system is from 1 to 10?
Im currently a junior at wagner and I love it. Yeah it has its problems but every school does. Teachers go above and beyond for the students. The students can be childish but not everybody is like that. There are students who care about where they are going in life. Fights happen they are just kids and get mad over stupid stuff but the staff ends it as quick as possible. They try their best to help us. Im an army brat and have been to many schools and I love wagner. - bekah
Most of the teachers are excellent and they have an awesome football team!!
Good schools with a lot of opportunity for growth. Teachers and staff are great. I believe every student makes it out to be what it is. The parent's comment before mine was probably one of those students that were a problem child. My kids have no problems with their teachers or other students. You will have kids in every race, background, and pay grade that will be rude. It's up to your child how they handle it and you're responsibility has a parent on how to teach them. I can't complain. I really think the school does the best they can do and better than a lot of other schools in this cityl Go Thunderbirds!
My children have attended school in 2 different states and several different regions witin those states and I will say that I believe this is the worst school I have ever had to deal with. I have pulled all of my children out and found alternate arrangements for them. The students and staff are all rude, ignorant, and disrespectful to a degree I have never witnessed. The staff is the polar opposite of helpful and have made the short 2 years I have had children there some of the most stressful ones of my life. I am truly thankful I will never again have to return to that school for any reason.
with the new principal running this school it has improved five fold within two years
Alot of the reviewers here think that our school is one that will never amount to anything, but what they fail to see is the heart that some of the students and the teachers of Karen Wagner High School have, sure we may not be the perfect school, but which school is really? I do attend Wagner High School and I am darned proud to be here, those who think like that mus be out of their mind, because I'm sure most of you never even gave our school a chance. Half of the students here clown around way too much but the opposing half believe in making a difference in their world. Some have great dreams like becoming a bio-chemist or going into the medical field, so to those who think that this school is for the birds I pity you.
I believe this school has good potential. Many times it is compared to Judson since were are in the same district, in my truthful opinion both schools are awesome. Wagner is not worse than Judson because they both have their problems. Every school has problems. So neither Judson or Wagner are better than eachother. However, Wagner does have more of a diversity of students. It now has great teachers. Wagner does offer the AP program, and it has many great teachers now. The academics is just as good as any other school. As for the problems with violence, violence is in every school. Thats how it is probably always going to be. The sports, band and any other extracurricular activities in the school are also excellent. While Wagner doesnt offer the IB program that Judson does, Wagner has many pragrams in the school that can let students exel.
