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.

The best part of attending Whitney high school probably has to go to the sense of comradery between the students. All of the students at Whitney were nice and willing to help their fellow class mates. School spirit was shown quite well at Whitney. One bad part would have to be teacher commitment to learner. There were some good and some bad.
