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.

Eventhough wallenberg is a small school I believe wallenberg is a good school for its size in the district. Going to this school I have felt safe every day i would attend school. Being a transfer student Wallenberg was the best option to go to school.

The biggest pro is that the school is small, so the classes are not too crowded. But a small school, on the other hand, means a lack of resources. We don't have a wide range of classes to pick from, and the school generally offers fewer academic resources.

The teachers and staff members are so supportive and will do anything to help a student in need. They are very flexible with office hours and are able to have fun with us. I love the friends I've made and the connections I've had with people from school. Some negative aspects are that the class options are limited, so I would like to see more options.

I would not recommend this school for anyone with a 504 plan. I choose this school because I thought a small school would be better for my 504 plan. Obviously I was wrong. The bathrooms are locked at the most inconvenient times, so if someone needs to use the bathroom they would have to miss class....

My daughter is finishing her freshman year and has been striving. Classroom size are very small which allows for more 1:1 support for students, teachers care and know kids names, needs and strengths. Wellness programs are very helpful and supported my daughter with her transition into a new school w...
