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.

How do i start? New waverly is a very small school, everybody is separated into their little friend groups. But it's a good school for learning , there's teachers who can be one on one with the students and help them understand the lesson.

I have enjoyed the three years I have spent at my school, and I believe my last year will be nice too. All of the teachers made sure that we not only learn but it is enjoyable while we do.

There are so many new teachers at New Waverly High School that truly cared about the students education. They spend so much time after school just to ensure the kids confidence in subjects they are learning. However, in such a small school in a rural area, there is a great amount of racism and sexism in the school which I hope will be reformed in the next few months/years.
