    The Wolcott School District is very effective at offering students the opportunity to take challenging courses, which are very helpful in helping students to reach their full potentials. That being said, they also require that students take a wide variety of courses to help them explore various fields, professions, and interests. The "support system" of the Wolcott School District, including teachers, guidance counselors, and administration, has always been focused on advocating for all students, which is very important in making education a positive experience for all students. The clubs and activities offered in the Wolcott School District are also very diverse, high- quality programs.

    In Wolcott, I’ve been able to come to school every day knowing that all faculty and staff members have my absolute best interest in mind. For the most part, my teachers have been extremely dedicated, helpful, and thorough. The climate in school has unfortunately been one more geared towards athletics than intellectualism, but that doesn’t change the fact that I know my environment is safe and supportive.
    Although we lack some things, Wolcott has many opportunities to take college level classes and earn credit early which I loved. I truly feel ready to face college despite our counselors lack of preparation.
