This was our first year at WHCS and it was awesome. My son entered mid year because he was homeschooled. He loved the school, the kids, the teachers, everything. Every day was the best day of his life he said! The staff are amazing! Small classes make learning fun. I highly recommend this school.

This is our second year with WHCS. We decided to pull our Honor Roll son out and enroll him into KISD, but we lasted all of 6 weeks. Our son missed the one-on-one attention, family atmosphere, and the public school was behind academically. I know....we were shocked also! We're Blessed to be back

We thought this school would provide a more hands on environment for learning and individual attention due to its size. It is sorely lacking in basic supplies, lunches are dismal and the administration allows an environment of unruly behavior.

This school is truly wonderful for elementary students. Advanced academics, family atmosphere, everyone knows everyone. For middle school it's a bit small, but for elementary it's really amazing. Ms. Pickering is truly exceptional.

This is a great school. The staff and teachers care about each and every child as an individual. Because they do need supplies the children have become more resourceful. And get involved themselves to obtain things they need taking pride and appreciate what they have. I hope they can get a ninth grade
... Read more class for next year. Its been a great experience. Very strict rules the kids no this and behave. I feel my daughter is safer here than any other school she has attended. Other schools you have to worry about teachers verbally abusing, or strangers entering campus, other students. Not here. Academics are sufficient. These kids are not burnt out they are eager to learn. I think the teachers and staff are working hard with next to nothing and should be commended for their diligent efforts. Make a difference their wish' list is on their site as well. Read less
