After 3 years of being there, my experience went from decent to horrible. The students are usually good the first few months, but then become wild and out of control towards the middle to end of the school year. Security was not very involved. Students were always in the hallways because they were skipping class and security guards would just walk by them and not say anything. There are a lot of fights throughout the day. Not every day, but a lot of days. The teachers have great backgrounds, but many lack good relationships with the students. The administrators were decent. One of the administrators (that will go unnamed) enabled a lot of the bad behaviors because students were sent to the office and no consequence was given, even after threatening a teacher. The best part of the school is it is fairly new. If you're looking for a school that will challenge you academically, unless you're in all honors classes, this is not the school for you.

this school is the best school ever. mr.blake always keeps it fun and the teachers and security guards are serious but helpful. they really want you to succeed and they have many more activities than any other school. step team, modeling,volley ball, football, basket ball,cross country etc. this school holds alot of attention obama has visited this school , famous viners, and also popular radio station such as wkys. we had a famous dj that plays for a foot ball or basket ball team i forgot and on fridays is free style friday they always find a way to keep you interested. the kids in rotc are very dedicated and are proud to wear there uniforms.

By far the best high school ive attended! Ive been to Bowie and Suitland high school and neither of them come close to Wise high school! They have great programs that focus on every type of student and make sure they stay on track or have the ability to get back on track! They dont limit troubled students to night school or summer school, they offer cheap online repeaters classes and the teachers are beyond amazing! and finally they really know how to "TURN UP" Im truly satisfied and I feel like I am being prepared for college. AVERAGE REALLY IS OFFICIALLY OVER AT WISE !

Wise is one of the newest and best equiped schools in Prince Georges county. Unfortunately, Wise is in Prnice Georges county where the school board and the leadership of the school system is aweful. If you are considering purchasing a home in PG county, factor in the cost of sending your kids to a private school. The public schools are dismal - particurlarly the high schools.
