The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Wellborn High School is a school that is supported by the whole community around it. It's not just the parents and teachers that care. People that just live around Wellborn volunteer time and money to help out the school. The community here just cares that much.

Students who participate in any of the things listed above usually keep it under the radar of the staff so, they cannot do anything about it. There are police consistently on the school ground, The nurse is not the best trained but, not the worst.
