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 high-school experience at Washington High School, I have come to understand the sense of community that the city of Massillon holds. Although we all come from different backgrounds, have different interests, and may not always get along, this school has proved to me that it is like a family. It is the kind of relationship, for example, where I can talk badly about my brother but no one else can. We are one team, one school, one family.

My overall experience at washington high school was a great one. Coming from a family where no one ever went to college it was hard for me to figure out the correct way to do thing but we have amazing counselors that helped me meet all criteria to be a competitor in the college and world. Massillon is a small city so there is a-lot of support and pride in the city, this was one thing i did like about the school since I moved so late. i

Washington High School staff do their absolute best to provide a fun and engaging learning environment. Outstanding rapport is made between students and their instructors, coaches, and even administrators. I would like to see the administrators of my school focus on more important problems than the usual behavior.

Yes, we do care about football. That is all our town has left and it is our identity. As a student i can tell you that Massillon cares more about grades than anything. Also the district DOES NOT dump money into the program, the PLAYERS EACH ARE REQUIRED TO RAISE 700$ AND EVERYTHING IIS DONATED!!!!!!...
