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.

A lot of fights and the students are very annoying and disrespectful. Some teachers are also annoying and don't let students explain anything. But overall it's a really great school especially now that it's a Net Zero building. The linch could be healthier and not burnt and soggy. The pizza for example is either burnt or it sags. Sometimes the administration can be a little lenient. I have done things I wasn't supposed to and I didn't get in trouble even though they were aware of it. But yeah I love the school. I wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

I have been eating the food every day for the past four years and although there are times the menu is not exciting, but there is always something available.

I have loved Wilde Lake. I have had a good experience with my teachers and my activities. This is a place where I wanted to be known and I have successfully fulfilled that desire.

The students fight and leak and spread their nude pictures, cyberbullying accounts are made everyday on instagram to harass one person, on...

The building looks nice but it's super trashy. Kids vaping in the absolutely filthy bathrooms, the rudest teachers who literally could not care about any of their students, and lackluster faculty all lead to a horrible experience for me, my sister, and all my friends. There are daily fights, literal...
