I feel that Washington Academy is a school that does all it can to built people up to be leaders and good citizens in there community. We are not just here to learn we also build friendships and have fun. I'm not saying this is a perfect school because no school is, but with all of the changes a year brings our faculty does there best. One of my favorite things about this school is the exchange program. In my four years I have seen many people come and go but i'm so thankful for the friendships I have made. sports are another big part of my school life I participate in baseball, basketball, soccer, and boys volleyball and i have made so many close connections through the sports, along with life lessons that I can use for the rest of my life. the memories that are made in this school live forever, once a raider always a raider is a true statement here I know that after I graduate I will always be welcome back at a coach, teacher, or just a sports fan.

Washington Academy is an interesting school, were in an area that is usually underfunded and overlooked, and our school is semi private. what I mean by "semi-private" is that some kids from the surrounding towns do not have to pay if there town doesn't have a high-school, but we have kids that do pay. Actually we have a good amount of student that pay upwards of 20 grand to attend this school, but even then the food isn't great and you can tell where improvements could be made, and those improvement haven't been made in the four years that I have been attending, its a little confusing considering that WA holds its self to a "high standard" and the school is failing to do so.

WA is a great school and the teachers really care for the most part, only complaint is teacher turnover, every year I've attended we've lost around 9 teachers a year to either relocating or what I assume are budget cuts.

The wide course offerings and the in-person instruction are second to none. The number of extracurricular offerings and sports to participate in really add a lot to the student's experience too.
