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.

Overall it has been a very good 3, almost 4 years. The teachers care and know what they are talking about and everyone is very inclusive. The amount of clubs and sports allows anyone to enjoy their high school careers. I would like to see the daily schedule change because somedays are much more taxing than others, when they could be equal.

Coming previously from an all-white school as a minority, I LOVED seeing all the different types of people and personalities. The community as a whole is nothing like I've ever seen in my entire life. From all the games, competitions, and events to the people I can proudly say my school is one of a kind.

The school is very involved with athletics and extracurriculars, the games are a joy to go to. However, we lack school spirit and the overall school isn't big enough for the student body. The hallways are always crammed and because of that, it takes longer to get to class. The teachers are mostly nice, teach well, and are very involved with their student's lives. With class sizes of 25-35, the school needs expansion, it can be hard for some to learn without individual help.

But, having graduated from it last year, I very much get the sense that somewhere around 80% of the budget is put into sports. Most of the other departments, except perhaps the music department, appear to operate o...

I’m a Widefield graduate. This school serves many lower middle class families and students who have severe family issues. The staff teachers and administrations are phenomenal,I am now highly successful and much of that is because of the caring teachers and staff at Widefield. These folks work hard...
