reviewsI have lived in Wentzville for my whole life. I have grown up going to the public schools of the Wentzville School District where I feel at home; very welcomed, and very included. I thoroughly enjoy living here, however there is one change that could be made to make residents happier, healthier, and safer. Creating more walking/ running paths and trails around the city would make the city more walkable. This would make residents healthier by allowing them to get exercise while doing everyday tasks such as going to the store. It would make residents happier by allowing them to be in nature and allowing them to save money on gas. Making Wentzville more walkable would also make residents safer by allowing them to use pedestrian friendly paths and preventing deaths from people walking in the streets. This being said, Wentzville is a very comfortable and welcoming place to live and I am proud to be a resident.

reviewsI moved to Wentzville with my parents when I started 6th grade. I will be a senior this school year. The area is nice. The schools are excellent. I came from a private school and went into the public school system. I struggled a lot in school until we moved here. The teachers here were very accommodating to all students and their learning style. I went from a c student to almost all A's. This has went from 6th grade up til now. I play in the marching band and I was on the wrestling team since I started highschool. It is a great place live and there are many opportunities for jobs for highschool students.

reviewsI like that there are a lot of places nearby. It is very convenient to live in Wentzville. However, it is very crowded with so many people, that’s the main complaint I have.
