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.

WiHi is a great school. It is often frowned upon, because it is an older school, by the other schools in the county. Almost my entire family graduated from WiHi. I would love to see it get the credit it deserves! It is a great school.

People underestimate Wicomico High. We're very unified, have amazing athletic teams, and you receive help when it comes to academics. I've enjoyed all 4 years at WiHi, and would return if I could.
