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.

Washington High School is a great school that is very inclusive of every student and makes sure that everyone enrolled has a great education.

School offers AP courses and some basic extracurriculars. There are some teachers that truly care about their students. The majority of them are over-worked for the amount of pay. Good school-spirit. Lunch is not that great. Counselors are not that useful and really clueless about a lot of things when asked or do not even make a note to research.

I personally had a great time at the school. I believe that the staff could do more to get students ready for college and life in general. The school lunches were subpar but the athletic facilities are very nice for the high school level.

The nurse is the rudest person I’ve ever met. Worse than the principal. They don’t care about your child...

During my stay at Washington Highschool, I can confirm that most teachers could care less about their students, and are more worried about their personal agendas. Teachers here lack enthusiasm and seem to have a hard time actually connecting with students. I can say, as a student here I can barely r...
