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.

More help with college admission. Not many colleges ever came on campus. A financial aid night would be great to help families with fafsa

Wapato is a small community. I love the new building and all the new English classes they are introducing. Athletics are pretty good, although new and better equipment and uniforms would be nice. Wapato High needs more student body involvement and general school spirit. The school has lots of room for improvement, so do student character.

I liked that every teacher got to know their students one on one, and I also like how almost all the students their are hard workers. I would like to see more sprit within the school.

Honestly the school is fine its just the way many students act some literally throw food thinking it's funny and they don't pick up after themselves. Some students just think they are so entitled there needs to be more discipline for most actions.
