Waggener High School

"I went to this school for Eight months and met some awesome people. I skipped school almost everyday, I would walk in one way and walk out another. Overall it was a fun experience. Met some friends that i still talk to after i moved."

"I previously lived in Indiana, and had to move to Louisville for personal reasons, but I had to go to Waggener because its my home school in my cluster, and it was the closest to where I live. My experience at this school was awful, there is no sugar coating it. I only attended the school for 2 days, because of how terrible it is. In the two days I had been there, there was distraction everywhere, there was smell of kids doing drugs in the stairwells during class, kids cuss out loud, like really loud in class. Sometimes even when the teacher is talking to them, the kids talk all through lessons, like in a normal voice or louder, tons of laughter and playing around during lessons. kids were bullied, not me thankfully. there is a open cell phone policy so kids don't do their work and play games and watch tv on their phones during class. The school doesn't even give homework because too many kids were failing because they didn't do their homework. The counselors were not any help. I wasn't even given a locker, they said it would be at least a week before i would get one. Over all Waggener is a terrible school, DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS THERE! There is no possible way that that you should put your kids in that situation."

"i had a really nice well typed review for this, but people kept on picking on me because i wrote it. it's a good school, 80% of the teachers are warm and friendly and really care, and then there's the 20% that are just in it for the pay other than that, it's good. it's gotten better. like i said, it's a good school. just don't write well thought out reviews because then people will pick on you because they were searching up the number to call the school in order to fake a leave and then find you wrote a review and then pick on you for it."

"It was in my study hall class at Waggener that the principal announced over the intercom system that President John F. Kennedy had been assinated. We were all mortified. A truly memorable event. But even more memorable were the snobs that ran the school, the snobs in the community around the school, and the abundant supply of people in this city that thought their ___ didn't stink. I've since lived in 45+ countries and have engaged over 100 cultures, lived in Europe and Asia for nearly 20 years and cannot think of a worse place to live than the Louisville area and this school. Leave your children at home first -- don't send them here. They'll thank you for it."
