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.

Walla Walla High School has amazing teachers and mentors, these people really care about you. Throughout all of high school I had been encouraged to try my best in everything I do whether it was an assignment or in a sport. I will always remember every teacher and every staff member who made me feel like I had a place there and that I was worth something.

Our High School has the most beautiful (college like) campus. Teachers are kind and create a safe space for us. I would say that the worst part would be that there can be a lack of student and parent participation in extracurricular activities. A change I would like their to be a more diverse group of students in our current AP courses.

Parking can be challenging and the lack of proper HVAC systems in the classrooms make for very hot warm months and cold winters. This is at no fault of the school itself, but rather the...
