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.

Me as a student Im in the 6th grade and they don't do good when fights and drama happens all they do is give you an 2 day break from school then they talk to your mom or dad but that does not help the fact that fight happen every day and kids are not doing well in math or ela but overall I think wms is better then when my dad was at the school so i rate the school an 8/10
