Wells High School is best-in-class. All of the administration is top-notch, very intelligent and caring for their students. They set-up an environment that fully prepares students for the future, as well as, creating focus on integrity and character development. My daughter was fortunate enough to have spent 3-years at WHS, graduated and is continuing with her education. She always had support and guidance from numerous teachers and staff - what a wonderful experience she had. No better school - in my mind. *Thanks to all, what an extraordinary group of people.*

My child is entering his third year at WHS, he has had a tremendous experience! The teachers, coaches, and staff are fantastic. The administration is proactive and involved. The principal has done a great job involving all students, he truly cares about them all!

If you want to find out how good, or how bad, a school, just survey the teachers. I taught there for over thirty years. Twenty years or so ago, ubder the leadership of Valjeane Olenn, the faculty worked hard both to improve the curriculum and to raise standards. We managed to create a school that was one of the best in the state. Then came a new administration and a new curriculum coordinator. This produced two results: lowering standards and "dumbing down" the curriculum. Hopefully there have been positive changes in the years since I retired. However, I wouldn't hold my breath. At least the top administrator who I feel was in large part responsible for lowering standards to the point where the school had beecome pretty much of an academic bad joke has gone elsewhere; same is true of a particularly inept curriculum coordinator. Just ask the teachers.
