My daughter graduated from WBHS in 2009 and started in Montevallo. A friend of hers went to Samford. Both were straight A students in high school. Both dropped out of college because they weren't prepared and couldn't handle it. Now my youngest will be going to WBHS next year unless I can somehow manage to move over the summer. (I'm trying!!) As with all school systems, you have the "populars" and other cliques. Some of the teachers care and some don't. (Tenure should be outlawed.) Football is a huge deal, but they also have several other sports. Nothing really that isn't sports related, though. The area itself is very "good ol' boy" and outsiders will never fit in. Also, it's a very poor area and a lot of things are pretty run down. I've never seen it first-hand, but my doctor says drugs are highly prevalent. A lot of inbreeding and trailer trash. I can't wait to get out of here and give my second daughter a better chance than my first one had. Wish I'd realized it back then.

I feel the school does not prepare the children well for college. As a former student, I struggled adjusting to the actual study time that was involved in college. I can only remember taking books home to study a few times. The school needs better teachers, that better prepare for the children's future.
