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.

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've had a decent experience over the course of my four years. My biggest issue is probably the fact that the school's been under construction the entire time I've been here and still is.

Won't get the same Wayne everyday. One day you will get a strict, no games played school. Most days you can somewhat do what you like. It all depends on your previous behavior levels and how academically on track you are.

I really do enjoy Wayne Highschool, specifically in the New Tech Program at Wayne Highschool. The teachers are amazing and caring, and you are given plenty of freedom such as being able to use your phones, use computers. With the help of the teachers its easy to ask for help when you need it. They do things to make everyone comfortable like each teacher has their own family of students. It really is a nice school and I dont ever regret going there

As a parent, I notice the best reviews are from current students who have not attended good educational systems or from teachers who have personal bias in the subject.
