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.

My overall experience at Booker T. Washington went very well, it's fun and there's many sport activities to do, the football games are so fun to be at especially with bands battling each other. The breakfast and lunch is bad. Most of the teachers are great at teaching they will work with you to make sure your grades stay up, just show effort and come to class and always pay attention.

What do I like about my high school? The teachers, and staff are always helpful. They are understandable. They care about all students making sure everyone get the equal support they need. They're goal is to make sure everyone graduates high school, and become successful adults.

Through my 4 years at this school, it has been okay. It wasn't spectacular, but all I can say is that this school has very good teachers and an outgoing principal. I hope that things are done exactly on time and not at the last minute, as usual.

"As a graduate of BTW I can say that going to this institution and succeeding is like being a fish and swimming up stream. To comment on the statement above. I am also a graduate of Booker T.
