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.

Thomas S. Wootton High School is a very welcoming school, it's always so fun to meet new students and relate to where we're from and our hobbies. Although the school is not very diverse, the school is 6% Black/African American so it can be hard to feel completely like I belong because there aren't many people who look like me.

While physically poor (Wootton's building has been due for renovation for some time now), Wootton presents itself as a superb school.

Although some circles can be rather competitive, the student body is simply great. With many clubs you will be sure to find your place.
