Absolutely horrible! All I’ve ever heard from WHHS is horrible things. I won’t specify who but someone has been going there since freshmen year and they have been treated like absolute garbage! By the students, teachers and staff!! They’ve reached out to the councelors and the teachers for help because their grades were dropping from one or 3 assignments missing SERIOUSLY?? GRADING IS HORRIBLE!!

Amazing. From the moment I stepped into the hallways of Hills, I've loved and enjoyed every second of it. My time as a student-athlete there was highlighted by a work ethic unlike any other that is engrained in everyone who wishes to succeed in the school. It's a laid back experience, but not too laid back and really helped prepare me for college in every way possible. I felt very included and supported. There's truly something for everyone to participate in. I'm seeing a comment claiming that you can only enjoy your experience if you're a "basic white american" and "rich". I highly disagree. I am neither and live in the small apartments just outside of Wayne Hills beside that Corrado's store. They aren't these massive mansions that this person claims that everyone at the school has. I'm not white either. I still enjoyed my experience at the school and I'm thankful for it. Personally, I think that the review I'm talking about came from a parent whose kids did not take advantage of what Hills had to offer and probably hung out with the wrong group of kids. A lot of the accusations seem odd, since I've never witnessed any of what they're talking about

Absolutely horrible. I would never recommend this school unless you are rich and “basic white american,” you would fit right in. I feel bad for all the parents of the kids who bully kids who don’t look like them.

We have had two children go through WHHS. One child had difficulty and one was a very motivated student. Both did well. The teachers for the most part took an interest in our children's individual needs. The school offers a wide array of activities. The band program is outstanding. The AP and honors classes are rigorous and our children were well prepared for college. Socially, the environment is what you would expect of a high school. Some kids love it and some do not. Access to drugs can be found in any high school (don't fool yourself) but it is not prevalent. The only department I found lacking was the guidance department.

This is a school geared towards college. My children both had gotten into their first choice university from Wayne Hills. I believe that their success in college is due to the foundation in education that they have received from their high school.
