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.

Throughout my time at Winnetonka High School I have been able to become the person that I am today. I would say the person I am today is someone who is able to cherish the time I've spent at the school. The staff and faculty have always been very caring towards their students and made everyone feel mattered in the class no matter if you were introverted or extroverted. That is why I'll always have a special place inside Winnetonka High School.

Some teachers were amazing, some were awful. The students were miserable. I didn't get the help I needed at any point, so I dropped out my Junior year.

What can I say, it's a very average school in a very average town. the students call try to be like each other in a huge popularity contest, the football is terrible (0-14) but every other sport is good. the advanced programs are not challenging enough and the regular classes are full kids who just mess around the entire period.

This is definitely not the school to send your athlete to. They have repeatedly hired the same coach for football for 3 years while the football team has lost nearly every single game for 3 years. there athletics department is garbage the students want to participate the families want to participate...

Some of the teachers act like they would rather be working a fast food job than working here. Som expect so much from every single student when In reality, not every student learns the same speed. Some teachers give out so much work and get mad when something isn’t done in time.
