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.

My son had a lot of excellent experiences during his years at Wadsworth HS. Would like to see a little more credit being given to all areas of the arts (art, music, choir, etc) as well as more assistance from outside resources to help bring the programs to an even higher level than they are currently at. There is a lot of potential for the various programs in the fine arts to really excel. Also, would like to see more programs promoting inclusiveness of all students so no one feels left out.

I really enjoyed my experience at all of Wadsworth's schools. I'm currently an education major, and I would love to come back to Wadsworth for my first job. I had teachers who cared about me beyond my grades every year, and I made friends that have lasted well past my graduation. I honestly can't think of any negative parts of my experience or anything I'd like to see change.
