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.

My overall experience at Booker Taliferio Washington Middle And High School has been challenging and improving the administration has came up with a better way for learning and better way of being involved with having school spirit the learning experience has gotten even better students can focus better we also have inspiring people to come to our school and talk to us sometimes we are a historical school we have people to inspire us and push us further in life and actually cares about the students and not about their pay checks our faculty works hard to make sure each and every student have the information they're going to need to get them further in life
