This School’s Reviews

4.0 Freshman

6/1/2025

I think that it was overall a very good experience because of the school culture, successful sports, and great academics.

4.0 Senior

3/2/2025

Wayzata classes are very academically rigororous and wonderful for getting people ready for college. However, the student culture can be very toxic and overly competitive.

Good school but recent years it's gotten out of control and there's a lot of kids who just lurk around the school all day ruining it for thr rest

Wayzata has been the best experience I could ever ask for from a school district. Our daughter started in the district Kindergarten and is now in 9th grade. We couldn't be more pleased with how this district handled both sports and academics through the pandemic and how they made sure our students w...

there is no sense of community, the teachers are generally terrible with few exceptions, the school is massive, and there is no support for anything with mental health. they just want you to graduate.

Excellent! Both my kids have enjoyed the full 12 and 10 years we've been in the district. They've learned and grown and participated in many activities and made good friends.

4/10/2019

On a scale of 1 to 10, I might rate the school as a -1. If a single teacher remembered a school student after a year of them moving out, it would be a surprise (more like a miracle)
