Excellent school! Your child will receive an education within the Howard County School Distict (one of the top in the nation) while attending one of most diverse and spirited schools in the County. Students here are well-rounded and better prepared for life in the real world compared to some of less-diverse but more “highly regarded” county schools.

Counseling center has been very supportive of my child, who's been emotionally overwhelmed by the size and behavior of the student body. Teachers have been a mixed bag - some are truly caring and supportive, others just seem to be going through the motions, and a handful seem to have their hands full controlling the classrooms. A new principal took over in the fall of 2017, and he may be attempting to change the atmosphere, but I am concerned about the recent turnover with the faculty and the counseling center.

Both of my children graduated there, went on to get their degrees in four years and currently have great jobs and are out of the house. Excellent job Wilde Lake Staff!

My daughter graduated from Wilde Lake last year and had an excellent selection of colleges from which to choose. She was academically challenged, had the opportunity to play multiple sports, was well prepared for her college experience, and was involved in numerous extra-curricular activities. The administration, lead by an outstanding principal, is among the best in the county. The AP teachers are excellent (Wilde Lake AP scores are generally number 1 or 2 of all the county high schools). The diversity of the school was a great part of her school experience. I have heard kids from other Howard County schools say that they want to go to a college that is diverse because their high school was not. I say go to Wilde Lake High School where you can have it all!
