Wayzata High School Reviews
Rating 4.08 out of 5 495 reviews
Wayzata has carried me through my teenage years and for that I am grateful. I strongly enjoyed the variety of classes they have to offer at this school. I would like to see more diversity among not only the staff but the school culture in general at my time at Wayzata I've seen how lack of diversity not only affects me but other students of color not only in diversity a problem that Wayzata struggles with the diversity among where and how they use funded and provided money to engage and help students. I love and forever am thankful for the wise lessons that highschool has taught me in general, but Wayzata has taught me vigorous lessons with their challenging coursework and a large campus, I've basically been in college for four years!
Wayzata high school is an interesting place.It’s so true that if you don’t care about style n brands you may as well be invisible n looked at as weird. Having our own iPads are nice. The math classes you have homework in every night, that’s a negative. The social workers are helpful it may be hard to set up a time, but if you Need someone to talk too the office is good at finding someone you can talk too and remain calm when waiting. The counselors are helpful with schedule changes and to converse with. The deans are very controversial from my experiences and my friends, there is a ton of miscommunication and biased punishments. The associate principals are doing too much they may look intimidating, but don’t let it get to you, they don’t really care about the students. The student supervisors are all different but they are all nice and helpful especially Norm Molly and Kelli. The office people are friendly. The bathrooms sometimes smell like iced guava and za but you get used to it!
The overall atmosphere of my time here at Wayzata was very interesting. The learning given to the students is very well compared to other schools in Minnesota. The students and teachers however are what makes it a different environment. Majority of the teachers are really nice, but there are a select few who don't really appreciate their students nor really treat them as if they are really a person. Students also are very entitled and some are rude all the time. Even some of their parents are very entitled, but that should be expected when going to a school with wealth like Wayzata. My favorite part of the school would be the music department since everyone connects there for the most part and it is a very mediocre music program (band wise which i participate in), so I don’t have to be super into it. I love band and music which does allow me to further my learning and commitment to the program.
