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.

I have had a great experience at Seneca High School. The teachers are always very helpful and kind, and it seems like they really care about my and my peer's futures. Some of the things that could be changed is the amount of AP and honors classes offered here, but overall, I would definitely want my future children to come here to be educated under the Wattsburg Area School District Administration.

I felt safe and like I was part of the Bobcat Pride family. I love the student and teacher involvement is prominent and centered around 'Defending the Den'. All of my teachers have been more than willing to spend time with me after school to study and ask questions to help me succeed in their classes. A good change would be how the parking lot passes work and how they are enforced.

I like that Seneca High School is a small school in a rural setting. I feel like I know of almost all students at school. The teachers know us personally and take an interest in our success. The community supports the students and programs. At a small school students can get involved in multiple teams, activities, and experiences.

Extremely poor leadership at the district and principal level. The district is satisfied with mediocrity and drives away the best teachers.

This school had NO set curriculum when my kids were at this school, and admitted this when confronted by the middle school principal and curriculum director!! It's a useless school that dumb's down the grades to give the impression the kids are doing well - when they are not! Abysmal test results, p...
