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.

Math was hard because I kept getting bad grades. Sculpture and painting are the best classes. Reading is good. Social studies is good and science is pretty good too.

Overall a pretty solid school. As long as you act correctly and you're a good student, you'll find a way. Even if you aren't that good of a student, you'll find people to fit in with. I'm not a huge fan of the administration but they're not terrible either. WCHS has a lot of college readiness programs and AP classes which I definitely appreciate.

My best experience in high school has come from the endless opportunities I have had the chance to take part in and my worst high school experience came from the lack of communication through out the school, this stopped me from finding out about some of my opportunities untill it was to late

The staff is cold towards outsiders. In the 10 or so times I've subbed here, I've never felt at home. In all the hundreds of classrooms I've worked in, I've only encountered two that left me completely without sub plans. Both were at Chrisman.
