    Going to a Wicomico County Public school was great. Nice teachers, administrators, and students. The testing scores were at there finest and the teachers always made sure everything was in order. Nice learning facilities and student help was always aided. If I had to re-experience high schools or any type of schooling it would be at a Wicomico Public School. Period!

    I liked the different opportunities to get involved in activities throughout your schooling. For example, in middle school you have the choice to choose chorus as an elective. If you want to continue throughout high school, you would have to tryout.
    The teachers and administrators at these schools were very helpful, attentive, and polite. Most of the students did what they were told and were very respectable to all, except for a few occasions. This county is a great place to send your kids for their education.
