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.

Waite Park is a wonderful and inclusive community school. Many teachers have been here 10+ years and their care for students is clearly evident. I love that each grade has about 50 kids. You really get to know the other families and it has a strong sense of community. I would recommend it to anyone.
