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.

Wasco High School is a marvelous school. I am proud to call myself a tiger coming from a small town, but there is one thing that I would like to see the Wasco High School change about. The dress code is too strict, especially on females, and it causes many of them to feel sexualized due to having a body that has been developed more than others. I would understand if they were showing their bra or wearing very short shorts, but that is rarely the case. On the other hand, this school is prepared to give us continuous chances to succeed in college, find out career path, or even see if we would like to go into the military.

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. I personally find it difficult because I am allergic to most foods and for example when we go out to field trips, they usually give out peanut butter sandwiches and I am allergic to that so I don´t eat. Also when they are during lunch they give out foods with sesame seeds so I cant eat that either. The usual foods they have are pizza ´ s burgers and foods like that and I´m sure you don´t want to eat that everyday for a whole school year.

Really good school I'm so glad I was able to be apart of it I made many new memories and friends whom I will have lasting memories with. The teachers are amazing they really care about us they show us that they are there to help and support us throughout our years there. There is no other school like Wasco High with our pride and amazing staff. The rally's are one in a life time experience and are so much fun many people get involved. Sports games are fun and there's ala ways school spirit going around. There are some flaws this school has like the food it's really not the best but there are times where we go out and get our own food which makes up for it. One thing I would like to see change are the rules we have there are many that aren't up to date and they really impact us as students and newer generations.

I have recently started attending Wasco High School and I already feel secure and comfortable. I love how I have no problem asking my teachers for help when I need it, whereas in other schools I sometimes I felt that I couldn't because I didnt feel comfortable with them. The bell schedule is a littl...
