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.

Whitnall high school is an average school. However the administration is quite poor and many decisions regarding where resources, money, should be directed are not well thought out.

Whitnall High School is a very nice school with a supportive staff and a great place to make friends. The counselors are dedicated to making it possible for you to achieve all of the credits you need and helping you make the decision for the next step. My only real compliant is that the administration can be overbearing and sometimes hard to deal with but overall it is a school I am happy with.
