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.

School takes the side of the popular students who maintain high GPA and/or are student athletes. You will be successful at this school if you have the right last name. This school leaves students unprepared for college and/or follow on employment. Wish I could rate it zero stars.

I had four children graduated for Washington Township High School. All went on to college and have flourishing careers. Great community minded attitude and small class size.

Washington Township is a great community school for those students who want to be well prepared in the future to college. The school offers a lot of one on one with the teachers because of the size of the school which makes it that much more interesting to study and learn much higher topics.

If you allow you’re child to attend this school you are making a big mistake. This is a tiny school where you’re children will NOT thrive. This school is filled with bullies, the staff and students, both. Many of the teachers allow and encourage bullying. You will have better luck elsewhere.

I was a student from K-8th. The things they teach are completely useless for real life scenarios, they pretty much prepare you to work in a factory. I am very into computers, I love to code and push my limits for what I can really do with it. I was horribly bullied by almost every kid, and many teac...

At Washington Township, your child will get a decent education but making friends is almost impossible. In order to be popular you must be very rich, give charity to the school, or be an amazing athlete. If you are none of these your child will be picked on and no one will stand against it. This sch...
