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 have had the best memories in this school. I made close friends and shared long lasting memories with them in this very school. I don't think there are any "worst parts" about this school. The "worst parts" were what made me who I am today, and I am thankful for that.

It is a small school that has genuine people in it. Teachers at school are very understanding and want to help the students out. It's also a very safe school in a safe neighborhood. The sports teams are not very successful except soccer but you can still have a lot of fun.

It's safe. It's quite and not much happens, the education system left me unsatisfied with the number of classes you can choose. they only leave academics for you to choose and don't bother with other classes that could help a student explore what she/he likes and would want to do in the future.

Terrible terrible-if you are outside of the norm culture that lives in Wallington you are in for no surprise, no support specially if your child has a disability. Guidance is a joke-most teacher seem burnt out-the support for different cultures or diversity doesn’t exist @ this school!

I am a former student of whs who left in late 2019. I graduate in 2023. Let me tell you. We were promised that it would be a great experience when we made the move from gavlak elementary. Instead of being a proper middle-high school experience, it was nothing near that. Wallington is a school with a...
