I have been in the Whitefish Bay School District my entire life, and feel very grateful for it. While the stress of school work can be overwhelming sometimes, it is very comforting to know that we are getting very prepared for college. I love my friends here, however the social environment isn't always the best. There are a lot of "cliques", and you know that one group doesn't mix with another. The teachers are great here, I have only had one bad experience with a teacher at the high school, and it was in my freshman year. We have a lot of clubs here, some of which are more for fun, others are made to prep you for possible future careers such as HOSA or Forensic Science Club. Over all, I love this school and the people here.

Whitefish Bay High School is a school that is deserving of it's prestigious status in test scores, and the academic knowledge of the school is more than present. I think where the school falls the hardest is in diversity, as the community is majority white, and student engagement. I and most of my friends do not feel particularly connected to the school culture or it's way of handling various events, good or bad. So while the school excels at test scores, it definitely still has room for improvement in terms of student connection and mental wellbeing.
