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 would like to have CCP courses offered at the high school. I wish the school would use weighted grades for college CCP courses like other area schools do. If the high school would offer evening or weekend hours once a month for families to meet with student advisors, college, etc.. would be very helpful for students plan or prepare for college.

I love going to school at Van Wert High School and I am very proud to be a part of such a great community. I am able to be in many clubs such as Robotics, Art, Spanish, Quiz Bowl, etc. We also have a very well-funded arts program. This includes band, Choir, Theater, TV production, and traditional art classes. However, that does not mean that it does not have its problems. Even though the overall culture of the school is great, there are many students who go out of their way to be rude to others. A change I would like to see in the school is a stricter rule over bullying (especially online).

Van Wert throughout my experience has overall came down to dealing with up tight people that don't want to have fun.

Teachers are usually good, although some act as if they just hate kids in general. The school uses the Common Core standard system as well as employing the Project Based Learning system, a program in which students educate themselves about the subject given to them instead of teachers telling inform...
