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.

Since my mother works at the school, I am very connected with the staff and students. I have made many friendships with my peers and they have taught me to always do what I love best and what I am passionate about.

It's definitely the best school in the county, but there is room for improvement in variety of clubs and school culture.

I like that Wheatmore has many options for early college classes. Wheatmore also has great school spirit as well as a large connected community. One change I would like to see though is a more diverse yearbook committee although the school has no control over that.

My daughter graduated from Wheatmore last year and we found both the administration and guidance staff very approachable. Guidance Counselor Ms. Jessup was very thoughtful with working with my daughter.
