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.

The best part about my experiment in high school is that the teachers are really attentive and look into helping us in any way they can.

Throughout my four years at George Washing Highschool I have created great connections with different people. I have been challenged with rigorous courses through the IB program. The IB program allowed me to grow as an individual which is something I enjoyed about this high school. I would like to see better community at this school and better lunch options.

My daughter is going into her Junior year and i am happy to say she has never been in any kind trouble. I believe the way we raise our kids that's how they will behave in school and every where! I appreciate the job principal Mr. Gallick is doing in improving our school and neighborhood! Thank you!
