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.

I have been going here for the past 4 years. The community is so fun. I love it. Friends are made easily and everyone is so kind. There are so many clubs that can be started and multiple opportunities to get involved. There's so much community involvement. It's incredible.

I love studying here, the teachers are very good, and the facilities are nice. There are constantly activities at school and themes, and they also give a lot of support to the migrant students.

I think Wasco High is a good school but it has a few problems. I am just going to talk about one which is school food.
