School Overview

Wheatley High School sits in the Fifth Ward, one of Houston's historically significant African American neighborhoods, and serves a community with deep roots and a strong sense of identity. The school shows more strength in math than in English and science, and families considering it should look closely at what programs and supports are available for their student's specific goals. For families already embedded in the Fifth Ward community, Wheatley carries a cultural weight and neighborhood connection that goes beyond any ranking.
