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 enjoyed the encouragement of the teachers. They all encouraged me to do my best and supported me in every area of my education including extracurricular activities. I felt sort of like an outsider when I first started taking classes but the teachers soon all made me feel welcome.

They are called out, humiliated, confidences ran into the ground becau...

I have never been impressed with this school. I've gone to school here for quite some time, and let me tell you I've hated my years at Ilwaco. Bullying is not dealt with. Students are not properly taught. Teachers are under-educated and unkind. Ilwaco has the smallest classload I've ever seen. None...
