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.

All of my siblings went to High School and they've done good here so I'm here to do better. The best parts are just the classes with my friends because I laugh and learn at the same time. The worst parts are just the some of the kids. All I want to see change is better security.

Wahluke High School overall is a really good school. The best part of the school is that teachers care about the students learning and are here for us. On the other hand, the worst part of WHS is the food. The food here at WHS is really repetitive and always give small portion. This is what I would like to see change. Different kinds of food and a little more portions would be great. Instead of pizza and hamburgers everyday, they should give out more health food.
