After undergoing massive construction of a new wing and total renovation, I couldn''t be happier with my son''s experience at WSHS. Academically challenging, terrific Sports programs, and support from every corner of the building. Great school.

The last (and only) review was from 2010 and was about the needed renovation. The school was renovated in 2019 and no longer has those issues. The curriculum, teachers (most of them), and staff are fantastic. I''ve had 1 graduate from here and looking forward to my second attending this school.

The school is in desperate need of renovation and is a terrible learning environment. Issues include previous asbestos in carpets, mold in ceilings and water fountains, overflowing toilets, graffiti, and cooling and heating problems. As a student who suffers from chronic headaches, i believe it is the building causing the majority of them.
