Wood Green High School is a secondary school located in Wednesbury, West Midlands, England.

The head teacher is Mrs. Pank Patel, who started the role in September 2006, taking over from the retiring Dame Enid Bibby, who had been head teacher for eight years and became a dame in 2004 in recognition of her achievements at the school. On her arrival at the school in September 1998, 31% of pupils had gained 5 or more GCSEs at grade C or above, and by 2003 that rate had soared to 63%, making it the best-performing school in Sandwell borough.

The school is situated on the A461 Wood Green Road which connects Wednesbury with Walsall, just south of the M6 motorway at Junction 9.

Wood Green is one of the most successful schools in Sandwell, and has regularly topped the borough's GCSE tables since the year 2000. In 2006, it was the best performing of the borough's 18 secondary schools, with 52% of pupils attaining 5 or more 'C' grades and above.

The school's origins go back to the turn of the 20th century, when "Wednesbury Grammar School" opened. The buildings were expanded during the 1950s, and by 1970 the school had turned comprehensive.
