Wolf Branch school has great sports and extracurricular programs. My kids went to Wolf Branch since they were in Kindergarten. They have enjoyed going to WB up until the 7 and 8th grade. My only BIG complaint is with the pre-Algebra & Algebra program. Numerous parents including myself have brought up specific issues with the school and nothing was resolved. The school needs to listen to the parents & students and assess the teaching technique of the staff. I wish all but the best for the upcoming Algebra students. I would give Wolf Branch a 5 start but cannot due to this reason.

The school is a lot of hype. The reputation of academic excellence is based upon standards over fifteen years ago. I would say it's comparable to any other average public middle school in the Swansea/Belleville/Fairview Heights area. My children are African American and the lack of diversity in administration, coaches, overall environment has been extremely disappointing; I simply believe the school doesn't embrace diversity. Although nepotism can be found in many schools, its alarmingly evident at Wolfbranch.

This school was a lot of hype. I will continue to live in the district, but currently looking for a private school.

This school sounds amazing! I wish my kids could go here!! I love how this school has great sports and arts programs like drama club! Most importantly I love the academic program and that the teachers know the students by name!

I am an 8th grader this year and I am going to miss this school so much! The emotional connection you have with the teachers is so special. I wish I could stay at Wolf Branch because it feels like family.
