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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

Washington High School Is a very good school. Whenever you go to school you feel safe and the teachers really do care about their students. Being involved is one of the best things you can do for your high school career. The staff and the environment is very positive.

Better employees. Teachers are rude, and some rarely care about the students well being. Teachers gossip with students about others students. Not a good environment for students to live in during the high school years. Bullying is a large issue.

its been a great school to go to my 4 years of high school

The officials don't care about the students feeling to the extent that it causes problems. They seem to not care about how the students...

So many students are malicious towards others. I graduated and I'm so glad. It got to the point where myself and several of my friends were...
If you have an all-star athlete this school is for you. If you want your child to learn, it isn't. They need to stop hiring coaches and using them as teachers. The students suffer in these classes. The emphasis should be on education first and instead it is on the sports. Teachers do not reflect on...
