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.

I love WWHS. There is so many opportunities to get ahead in my education and become the student I wish to become. Our school is pretty small but we have a very big impact on our community and I hope that continues as I graduate and move forward. I wish to see bigger opportunities being taken in the future, so we can stand out among the rest.
