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.

I truly do admire Will C. Wood Highschool. I will miss this highschool once I leave. The college prep and culture of pur school is something worth mentioning. Many staff are encouraging when it comes to college readiness.

My daughter is now a senior and has been at Will C Wood all four years. She has been in AVID and that program has helped my daughter excel in school. She was involved in volleyball all four years and loved it! Now during her last year she joined to Link Crew. They are active in school activities and the community. Over all she had a wonderful experience.
