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.

Most teachers are very hard working. Some teachers I like better than others because I like the way certain teachers teach.

The people at this school try to make it the best it can be, but overall there is nothing you can to about lack of funds and lack classes.

The lunches are okay, not great. They have a lot of extra food you can buy but the one thing that irritates me is that you can't get an extra snack if you're negative in your account. Even if you don't get a lunch, they won't let you buy an extra snack. They don't have free water, just milk. And if you're negative in your account, you can't buy a water. It never made any sense to me. There is a lunch that's called Dutch Waffle and it is a funnel cake. They provide powdered sugar to put on top. It's disgusting. I do have to say that the lunch ladies are very nice and polite.

Many students at the school...

This school, the teachers, and administration don't seem to care about education. Bullying is a problem and they're drastically underfunded.

Waldron is a typical small school. 40 kids a grade. It isn't an awful school if you play basketball. The athletic director is also the basketball coach and be a total dbag. I guess that's everywhere though. He picks favorite. The staff is nice but they don't really make you learn. You can just coast...
