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.

The school has always communicated with me to meet my child's needs. I feel very welcomed at the school and they encourage me to come eat lunch with my student. The school is kept spotless and quiet. So glad we transferred to this school.

If you have a choice to pick another school, PICK ANOTHER SCHOOL! Today on August 30, 2023, I get a call from my son in tears about him being put under In School Suspension(ISS) because when the football team said "they were going to win" he said "I don't care whether or not the football team wins"...

I haven’t had any major issues with the school. My youngest son is in 8 grade so it’s our last year at Whitworth
