(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I LOVE THIS SCHOOL, THE TEACHERS ARE GREAT, THE PRINCIPAL IS MAGNIFICENT, AND WHEN I ATTENDED W.H.O.C, WE HAD A WHOLE LOT OF FUN... I STARTED WHOC 3 MONTHS WELL INTO THE 9TH GRADE, AND STILL MANAGED TO GRADUATE ON TIME, THANKS TO THE TEACHERS AND STAFF @ WHOC. WE WORK AT OUR OWN PACE, HOWEVER, IF YOU WANT TO FINISH SCHOOL, ITS UP TO YOU TO DO WHAT YOU NEED TO, IN ORDER TO MAKE IT HAPPEN...

(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Most of the teachers are kind but some don't really know how to filter their thoughts. The teachers that are nice tend to help the quiet and hard working students. The principal is extremely kind and the other workers really care about the students. The students tend to be loud and extremely cruel to other more subdued students but if your child is really social he will love this school!
