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.

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.

best part about high school was finding the people I fit in with best because there were so many different kinds switching from a small private school to a large public school. one thing I would want to change is to have everything up dated

My experience at Whitmer has been unique and meaningful. Since my Junior year a police officer have picked me up everyday and bought me donuts. And over the time we've built a strong connection. I'll be closing this chapter with him, which makes it even more special. Another important part of my routine has been my associate principal, who feeds me breakfast every morning. These small but consistent moments have had a big impact on me, showing the support and care within my school community. Of course, not every moment has been easy. One of the toughest experiences I've faced was getting into a little trouble at school. However, I didn't let that define me. I worked hard to bounce back, learning from my mistakes and growing as a person. Overall, my school experience has been positive, and I don't feel any major changes are needed at this time. The support I've received has made a difference in my life, and I'm grateful for the people who have helped me along the way.

Overall I have had an okay experience, but it isn't the calmest of schools and I get stressed about the fights that happen. However, the AP and honors courses are good and prepare me.

The sped classrooms I feel like need to be challenged a little bit more. But with the overall School I had a very bad experience here. They need to learn To respect their students. I don't recommend coming here.

This school has some very tricky issues but it is a good school. The staff works very hard to highlight the students when possible and work with what very very little they are given. I work here as well as being a student and honestly there is no communication between staff members at all. They are...

First of all I want to say “WLS4kids” is very misleading and a flat out lie. They are NOT for the kids. I cannot speak for the teachers. I will say that my son really enjoyed his short 5 weeks at Whitmer. He was 5 weeks into his Freshman year when the school unenrolled him without verbally speaking...

I would do a lot of things to avoid coming here ever again. Made my anxiety and depression worse. Other students will harass you. The bathrooms could be cleaner. Some of these teachers don't do enough teaching and just whip piles and piles of work onto you. At lunch they make you pay for the good st...
