Wayzata High School

Posted July 11, 2009

I am a graduate of the Class of 2008. My family moved to Wayzata schools from Osseo during my elementary school days specifically because Wayzata's quality of education is so high. Wayzata offered me opportunities that kids in many other schools couldn't dream of; the diversity of AP options is (almost) unmatched, and the school did I wonderful job of trying to prevent boredom or tedium. I have several friends who attend Ivies and report that many of their intro level classes are only as challenging as their high school courses, and I was offered so many AP classes that I was able to start at a large public university as a junior, credit-wise. Can I make an objective case for Wayzata over, say, Eden Prairie or Minnetonka? Probably not. But overall Wayzata excels.

I've one child at WHS and know several others due to my job as a tutor. The bright kids at WHS do exceptionally well, as other reviewers have noted. The average kids who work, also do very well. The average kids who refuse to study, won't do well. The below average kids however, are not served as well as they should be---I tutor some of these, remember, and while they do have a Resource Center, pull-outs for tests, and incredibly involved Spec Ed teachers, IMHO I believe that the LD kids (those who will be competing with the 'normal' learners for jobs in the real world, not the Down Syndrome who will be sheltered) , the LD kids are not having the Attitude that they CAN learn and be brilliant at something... the LD kids are being told, you can go to Vocational School. Not good enough!

This school is amazing, when I first walked in the doors as tiny ninth grader I felt overwhelmed and withdrawn. But as soon as some one said hi to me and I began to see my friends from middle school a little bit more I came to feel completely at home, I spent 5 years making friends for life at my middle school, but It only took me one year to make friends for life at Wayzata, The school is big but the hearts of most students there are bigger. They have a great arts program for any student coming from F.A.I.R. and the clubs and extra curricular activities are through the roof! GO TROJANS! :)

Too big! if we could do over again we would be in a much smaller school district its really hard to compete in a school this large.
