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.

Ware junior senior high school will always hold a special place in my heart not only because that's where I will be graduating from in the spring but because this is my community and where I grew up. When I'm at school I feel nothing but safety. Everyone puts their differences aside and looks out of one another. We are a small but yet very connected school community whether we are at sporting events or just in every day classes we constantly cheer one another on. Our teachers always put out education and future as a priority. There has never been a time where I've struggled in school and no one was there to help. There was always another student or teacher very eager to help me.

This high school is unlike any other high school I've seen. As a community we stand together against bullies and domestic violence. If you're looking for a high school with a wide variety of students and teachers then this is the one for you. The high school also offers many different clubs and organizations you can join. It is very easy to make friends as everyone is so welcoming and nice to each other.

Ware Junior Senior High School is the epitome of the high school experience. A diverse student body, combined with an extraordinary teaching staff, creates a healthy learning environment for any learner. The opportunities are there for the taken at WJSHS and I wouldn't want to be any where else.

I don't like this school at all, i don't like people either but Mr. Easton and the lang & culture teacher actually make me excited to come to school, they are my favorite teachers, they are the best. Lunch food is alright. Ms. Kacey is the best guidance counselor ever

My daughter was accepted to every college she applied to. The guidance dept. was outstanding in assisting our family with all the information we needed to connect with competitive universities.

Im a student at Ware HS. I've gone to Ware schools all my life and the only complaint I have are the school lunches. Most of the lunches are good but some not so much. To the last person who posted about my school you are completely wrong. The teachers care about the students and you aren't just all...
