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 would like to see more AP and honors classes offered. Also some new computer and math options. The science department is pretty good.

Wilmington Area High School (WAHS) is a very nice school. I like the small size and the close–knit community. WAHS has a very strong academics program, as well as decent sports. Not much really needs to be changed.
