Washington County Hight School is a good school, everyone respects each other, and the teachers try their hardest to get all the students the Education they need. Washington County High School funding are low and students don't get the materials they need to get the education or experience they need before going to college I hope to see this change soon.

I liked to low student-ratio at Washington County HIgh School. What I didnt like is that it is in a rural area in Washington County and I feel like the students did not have the same opportunities as larger Alabama High Schools such as having more dual enrollment classes to take.
