Waterford High School

I've attended Waterford Union High School for the last 3 years. My brother and sister have also graduated from WUHS. I would say this school is the best in the area. Everyone is really nice, there is very little bullying due to the recent programs and diversity classes. Overall the school is really great. There is not a big drug problem here. There will always be students who do drugs, but this school is really good in that asspect. Teachers are really great! They connect well with the students. I would highly reccomend Waterford Union High School to anyone.

As a parent and former student of Waterford Union High school I am disappointed with it overall. The biggest disadvantage to the students that I see at this school is the administration and lack of professional or positive conduct toward all students. The priorities are in the wrong places. Example: Too much emphasis on sports vs. academics or general education. As well as a lack of class selection, and a lack of guidance in planing for the future for all students including the ones that are not college bound. Some attitude, priority, and program changes would do this school a world of good.

I am a Freshmen at Waterford and I honestly can't wait to get out of this school. It is horrible. Bullying is a MAJOR issue. They judge students on the way they look. Especially the higher authorities in the school. I am actually afraid to go there most days. Waterford High has a very bad drug problem. And teachers let the students get away with bullying. I feel very intimidated at this school and do not like it at all

I graduated in 2005. The teachers at the school were amazing. Each teacher took personal interest in helping each student to do their very best in all aspects of school. Teachers went above and beyond my expectations to ensure I was making the right decisions throughout my time at Waterford. An area that needed improvement was foreign language. I took Spanish while enrolled and it was not helpful later on in life. They need more interaction in speaking and less with simply learning vocabulary. Parent involvement was low, but I feel it helped me to become more independent from my parents. The school itself was always a safe place to go and never felt intimidated by any staff member.

I think this school needs some major reconfiguring. The teachers are horrible. I have tried over and over to contact them and they don't answer. I think that the classes offered are very poor and there isn't a very good variety. The only good thing about this school is the sports.

I personally love this school

The academic programs are for the most part, incohearent to the main task. The music programs are great, as long as the teacher likes the student. Art classes and displays are available, and so are sports programs The level of parent involvement from my experience is little/none.
