GreatSchools Rating
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.

All 3 of my kids have attended Wachter. Wachter has the best teachers and my kids have loved their time at this school.

My child was getting bullied at this school. They ended up getting in trouble for defending themselves. And not even hearing him out. Which is disrespectful because they started picking on him first and I believe they should be equal. If it was self defense why would he get in trouble for defending...

I have 2 children at this school and they love it! My daughter said to give this 2 thumbs up.

Teachers are okay...some need to be fired and fresh, new teachers need to be brought in, but that's with almost any school. Focus seems to be mostly on extremely bright kids or kids who are failing...children like mine (most A's, a couple B's, some C's on tests) get forgotten.
