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.

My overall experience at Wayne County High School has been bittersweet. Over the years I have learned a lot about myself and other people. I have gained friends and other relations and I have lost them but in the end I am grateful for the lessons that high school has taught me and I can't wait to put these lessons that I have learned to use in the real world on my journey to college.
