Wilmington Friends School Reviews

For a place so self-congratulatory about its liberal thinking, we know Friends to be a petty, narrow, judgmental and intolerant place. They wave peace banners and rainbow flags but righteously suppress anyone who questions their inconsistent treatment of people they value and those they do not. The omnipotence of the dean may indeed be at the crux of the abuses, as she advances those she deems worthy and marginalizes others. The nicest interpretation regards her as incompetent, perhaps negligent, as she ignores the cutthroat competition, misogyny and bullying that runs rampant through the halls. The worst cites her manipulations, power plays, lies and threats as evidence of something more sinister, as she fuels social discord with unfounded rumors and public embarrassment. Either way, do not mistake it to be an inclusive community, and carefully consider whether you are the type of people they value or those they will isolate and diminish.
Review Wilmington Friends School
Clubs, committees, SPORTS, you name it and it is GREAT at WFS. The IB Program & Academics are superb! Communication from the administration is top notch. College Counselors and Teachers reach above & beyond to help students. Lucky kids to have acquired a Wilmington Friends School education!
Wilmington Friends School is arguably the best private school in Delaware. The academics aren't only challenging, but they are widely recognized among colleges. Instead of having a distinct math, freshman, and sophomores take integrated math, which is a cumulation of every different type of math. This sets the foundation for what you want to take junior and senior year, whether it's regular, AP, or IB courses. Although the student body may not be as diverse itself, the school attitude towards diversity is always on the positive side. There are multiple clubs & committees to ensure diversity is not overlooked in the school, and outside the school. The teachers are always available after class, and you are able to communicate with them at any time if extra help is needed. The sports aren't the best in the world, but the community is there. Every sports team supports each other in failure and success, this includes JV and varsity.
