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.

The nurse is there for when the kids are sick and they make sure the school understands the policy of sick children. The counselor speaks to the kids about bullying and such things. If any staff is made aware of bullying it's not tolerated at the school. As it shouldn't be.

My son has attended WG since pre-k and is now in 3rd grade. I could not have a better educational support system helping him achieve and reach all of his goals. This school is absolutely fantastic as well as all of the teachers and staff members!
