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.

Wantagh High School is a great academic school where it is easy to connect with your teachers and receive individualized learning experiences to ensure that you will do as best as you can. It is a school with a strong sense of community and unity, where everybody knows your name. I cannot thank my teachers and peers enough for helping prepare me for college adequately and for being flexible, adaptable, and success-driven.
