Wellington High School is smaller than many schools, which means I have an opportunity to get to know people better. It feels more like a family school. The classroom size are small enough that you can get personalized attention from the teacher. Every teacher I have ever had there has been willing to take the time to help me if I needed it. They seem to really care about the students. There are many opportunities to get involved in extracurricular activities at Wellington.
Well, I spent my childhood in Wellington since I was four. I mainly went for the academics. There were a few things that popped up recently and a few really bad experiences that happened there, like one faculty member who lied about me heavily and continually singled me out in class, and some other things that did not agree with my religious background. I did not feel safe in recent years at wellington. This was the kind of thing that I wanted to avoid at this school. I am disappointed in Wellington's behavior but will be forever grateful for the great childhood and academics that they gave me.
I love the diverse community, and how accessible the teachers are in regards to helping us with anything we need. There is a small number of students in each grade level, therefore it's easier to learn when the classes are small. If I were to change one thing about the school, it would be to expand the building so that there is more room for the high school. As of now, there is only one hallway for the entire high school to share and there is very limited space.
