Current Conditions
Wayland has long been a community that values education, and
Wayland High School has been one of our greatest community
assets. While our schools have consistently ranked at the
top of the state, the high school facility is beginning to
compromise the quality of the education being delivered.
There are three primary reasons that the facility is
challenged to meet the needs of Wayland:
1)
Age and Condition of the Facility
2)
Severe Overcrowding
3)
Changes in the Educational
Program
In the spring of 2005, WHS had its ten-year accreditation
review by the New England Associated of Schools and Colleges
(NEASC). Their review concluded, “The severe limitations of
the current facility seriously impact teaching and
learning.” Specific areas cited included health and safety
issues, overcrowding, lack of technology, outdated labs and
failure to meet standards and regulations. WHS is now
required to update the NEASC on a regular basis and if these
problems are not substantially addressed in the next 5 years
WHS could lose its accreditation.
