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 new principal at the school is the worst this school has experienced. She has destroyed the little good that was left in the building. She drove away all the good staff and plays favorites with students, staff, and parents alike. If you can send your children anywhere else make that choice!

Wesmere staff has worked hard to create a welcoming, inclusive environment. Opportunities, such as the Alpha Wolf Club, exist to allow students to have voice and be leaders.
