Wonderful teachers … great administration.
The smaller classrooms are also a plus. These children are not just numbers … but individuals that teachers can concentrate on. We are small but we are mighty.

Wheeler has a no tolerance policy. It values parent involvement and that will strengthen a student. Helps teach work ethic.

Teachers are always available. Programs exceed expectations. For a small school, it is able to offer some amazing opportunities.

School is very small. Some classes that should be offered are not; IE anatomy and physiology. Some A/P classes are taught on 'every other year' basis due to qualified teacher only being able to teach one class per year. Honors students are challenged. Mediocre students need to have parents advocate for them to ensure that their child is being challenged and getting the classes they need to attend college or tech school after graduation. New principal is doing a great job of updating curriculum. Anwers parent's questions in a timely manner and will meet with parents. Very pro student and wants students to be successful. Sports teams very limited due to school size. On line classes are available but not all students feel comfortable with this setting. Check where your child will be going after high school to ensure that the proper classes are available for his success.
