It is a wonderful school situated in a wee-established neighborhood. The school consists of a variety of ethnicities and talents within the academic, artistic, musical, and athletic realms.

Wash is a great place to go as it's ranked in the country on an academic level and it has a usually winning sports team, the staff is amazing also. But there are going to be changes put where the Cedar Rapids school district becomes an academy where there splitting up the schools by career choice. If it goes right it's gonna be amazing, if not then it's gonna be horrible

Being involved with the orchestra was one of the best parts of my high school career. I was able to meet other students and feel connected within a larger school like Wash.

This school is a safe home for students of all types. You can be a jock in the band and be a little quirky and find your home here. My student who has a learning disability has been encouraged and supported in taking advanced classes. This school is a best-kept secret in Cedar Rapids and does not de...

Not a safe environment for those with learning disabilities. They are placed with those with behavior problems with only creates an even worse learning environment for those with L.D.

I think these scores are misleading and I would hate for folks from our if town who don't know the school to believe these numbers. There are some students who have attendance problems and their absences do hurt their scores and graduation rates. But for children who show up every day you have great...

Fabulous! My kids went on to highly selective colleges and felt well prepared and also had a great time in all the quality extra-curriculars-- got to do a little of everything! Coaches and drama/show choir folks work together so students don't have to choose just one thing.
