My daughter graduated last year and my son is a sophomore. They have thrived at this school. The staff are very caring. My daughter was challenged to her academic ability and entered college as a sophomore and totally prepared! It is not a place for kids who have no interest in going to college or working to get there. Staff offer great support to kids who struggle but are willing to make the effort.

Thanks to the challenging academics at Wellspring, I'm well equipped and prepared for the rigorous courses I'm in at Calvin College. Sure, there is a large homework load for 4 years, but it very much prepared me for the amount of work I receive in college. As for the other aspects of Wellspring, I can say that high school was solid. The friends I made over the years there are some of the best people I know and I'm very close with them. The teachers truly care about your well being and are very understanding individuals. This whole idea of a eal\ high school is overrated; I believe that Wellspring was just as eal\ as any other high school. Just because we had uniforms and still don't have as many sports as other high schools doesn't mean it can't be a great experience. As long as you make the best out of everything, you will have at least a decent experience in high school. I do have my complaints about Wellspring, but they are mostly overlooked by the amazing people I've met and the preparation it gave me for college. Your education is important and Wellspring does a phenomenal job at recognizing that while giving you opportunities to get involved in other activities.
This school is the absolute best school ever! I finally get to wear the same clothes as every body else so I'm not made fun of! Teachers really do love reminding you to tuck in your shirt all the time, I love it when they remind me too. I'm always ready for this school. I love having to take AP classes. they really help get me far in life. And I also love having to do 60 hours of volunteer work to graduate from Wellspring Preparatory High School. The teachers are especially nice. Other than the food being slightly different I think it's an amazing school for young whippersnappers or deranged water bottles. I'd give it a 6/9
The teachers are horrible. They care only about their pay checks than what they are actually teaching you. The band teacher has that \fake nice\ mentality. He will tell you you are not good at your instrument then say something along the lines of \ it doesn't bother me I just want you to fix it.\ They love to leave you in the dust if you don't understand something too. The way of teaching is crazy, in history, for example, you are asked to read a document and write a summary about it instead of that being in English class. The people are very self centered. I can say that I have made some very good friends though. Dress code is crazy, no colored shoes, shirts must have collars, no boots in winter, belts must be correct color, no sweaters ( even though there is no heating), shirts must be tucked in. They are much more focused on what type of navy blue you wear than people bulling others. They do not care about personal problems, if you have depression or things along that line, they tell you to get over it (at least that what the band teacher and principal told me). I honestly would be ashamed to say I graduated from this school.
We have a daughter graduating this year and a son who will be a freshman this fall. We have been impressed with staff and appreciative of their level of commitment and communication. Wellspring does an excellent job of preparing their students for college and then taking them, and their parents, through the process of applying. We like the diversity of the student body and believe it prepares our children to live in the world and to appreciate how those of other races and religions view it.
