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.

Washington High School is a college preparatory school that is in the middle of a very poor area. The teachers focus on inclusion and making sure everyone is welcomed.

I really like the school. I feel like a lot can be done to make the school better, but I think it's an ok school. I like that we have an opportunity to get college credits done.
