Summary

Wheeler High School is a public high school located in Marietta, Georgia, serving 2,380 students in grades 9-12. It is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 54 out of 206 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Wheeler High School has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, its academic performance lags behind the exceptional results of nearby schools like Lassiter High School and Pope High School, which consistently rank among the top 20 high schools in Georgia. Wheeler's proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments are generally higher than the state averages, but lower than the top-performing schools in the area. Additionally, Wheeler has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 38.78% to 49.16% in recent years, which is higher than the top-performing schools in the region.

Despite these challenges, Wheeler High School has maintained a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating that it is still a strong and well-performing high school within the Cobb County district. The school's proximity to the highly-ranked Walton High School, a public charter school, is also noteworthy, as it highlights the vast differences in performance levels within the same geographic area.

Excellent school, my son is now entering his third year. He loves the teachers and they are willing to help and work with students. School is entering the final stages of a major renovation. I highly recommend Wheeler High School. Close Quote

STEM Magnet Program has been fantastic for my children...teachers are fabulous in all disciplines (not just Math and Science), opportunities to take many science and math courses with block scheduling, students attending Magnet by and large are hard working and very motivated to do well. They are also supportive of fellow students. Seniors in the program complete an Internship in a field of their interest - which is unique and hugely beneficial to the students. Truly a great program for highly motivated students. Close Quote
