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.

I think it is great the WHMS using the leader in me to help students become respectable young men and women. WHMS is doing what they can to help our children be productive members of society. The teachers are always willing to go the extra mile to help students. My twins love WHMS!
