Whippany Park is a place that truly sets its students up for success. The opportunities are endless, while many sports and clubs thrive with its members' attitudes. The environment is supportive and the teachers are always willing to work with their hard-working students. Also, students have the great option of choosing the right types of classes that suit them. The more rigorous courses are taught very well by passionate teachers. It is evident that Whippany Park takes pride in their name and family-like environment. This school is filled with kids who want to make a change and be successful in their years leading up to college. Definitely a place I would recommend to be a part of!
Overall, WPHS is a typical suburban New Jersey school. Among all the teachers (who are mostly decent), there are a few excellent teachers, and the student culture seemed generally neutral. In terms of preparing students for college, those in higher-level classes (APs and Honors) are mostly well-prepared in terms of workload and curriculum. I personally liked that there was more student choice in what classes students take (compared to other schools), but one specific thing that could change is the placement of the required Personal Finance class - senior year, rather than freshman year, should be when students take it so that they are better-equipped for the financial hurdles brought on by college.
As of right now I am a sophomore at Whippany Park High School. Unfortunately, as we all well know, we are in a global pandemic so I haven’t really been able to experience a lot. My freshman year all the way up until March, though, was so much better than anyone said it would be. Most movies make highschool seem like hell, but with my friends and involvement it was a good time overall. I just wish I could actually be there in person now to see my friends and partake in activities again.
