    I have two kids at South and they both love it. The curriculum is challenging and you can customize it with honors/AP as fits your abilities. One of my kids is in sports and the coaches are excellent, encouraging values and pushing the kids in academics too. The arts programs are also excellent such as show choir and speech team. There's something for everyone!

    Wheaton Warrenville South is a great high school. The school is very safe and in a really good area. Most of the teachers are very kind and great at explaining concepts. They are always willing to meet outside of class to further discuss a topic. There are a range of accredited activities. There are state-qualifying sports like volleyball and football, as well as other competitive activities like the speech team or scholastic bowl. They have the typical high school dances and assemblies, which really add to the school's dynamic. As a whole, the school very clearly cares about its students and is a great place to learn in.
    Wheaton Warrenville South was mostly a great school academic wise. There are so many amazing & helpful teachers and counselors that are always there to help you. The English, Science, Music and Arts departments are funomenal. The teachers are so knowledgeable and helpful and can make even the most boring topics fun. Although the school has its downsides. The math department is lacking greatly and many of the teachers expect you to get a tutor over asking them for help. In drama and gym classes if you are not a favorite of the teachers or not the best actor or athlete don't expect much help. The student body is pretty much split into the wheaton kids, the wheaton wanna be's and the Warrenville kids. I had kids judge me because I was from Warrenville. There is a lot of lack of organization in some clubs and sports as well. The only class that I prepared me for college level work was my AP English Composition class. Overall the school Is pretty good but needs improvement in some areas.
