"WHS is one of the worst high schools in the Matanuska Valley area. Wasilla has such a high drop out rate that the community has had to open alternative schools in recent years. Most of the students that attend the alternative schools come form wasilla and do well because the teacher student ratio is better. also the alternative schools simply graduate students using work study credit. Some of the teachers at wasilla high school simply have been there to long and do not have the passion they started with years ago. I have seen and know teachers that have been teaching for years and still are motivated and enjoy teaching different student mentalities. Wasilla teachers are not that way they dont care if the students fail."

"I believe that wasilla high is one of the best schools in the valley. I would deff. recommend this school to any middle school student. Wasilla High offers honors classes as well as off campus classes. Students roam free around the halls without being tromented by some 'better than other' students. Everyone here is friends or aquaintences with everyone else. There is always a place to fit in. Remember once a Warrior always a Warrior."

"The 'druggie' image of Wasilla is long gone thanks to a concerted effort by administration and staff. Currently Wasilla High School has 14 Advanced Placement courses available with a full offering of honors courses to get students up to speed. In fact, it is the fastest growing high school in Matsu Borough. Wasilla offers a wide range of vocational-technical courses (Wood Shop, Auto, Building Trades, and more) as well as a growing fine arts program that includes AP Art, AP Music, Jazz Band, and Drama. The sports programs include the state champion wrestling team several years running, strong basketball teams for both boys and girls, and many, many more. Wasilla High School sets the pace for Matsu Borough schools."

"This school is a great school in the Mat-su districts. As we all know and have heard that our childern are coming to us and saying things about this school being a 'stoner' school or a 'druggie' school. I don't think that schools should be labled as those things. I look at Wasilla high in a good way but I would want my child to do well in the acedemics to move on and enjoy life."
