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.

This is a good school, don't get me wrong, but there are a few things that need to be worked on. For one, the food is not good to me whatsoever. Some of the kids are so rude and mean for no reason. However, the teachers I have had or have now are amazing, I love them so much.

I loved the clubs at Washington County High School. They are so fun and interesting. You always go on trips to explore. I also loved the sports. Our school is very competitive. We love every sport and support them at every game. Everyone there has school spirit. It was also a great social time too. You meet new people everyday and it was amazing.

My four years at Washington county high were the best of my life, I was involved in my JROTC unit, had opportunities to come before and after school for tutoring in any subject needed. I attended every home football game whether it was due to color guard or to support our golden hawks. I spent every year of high school in a beginning instrumental class which helped bring me out of my shell. The teachers and staff there understood me and helped me through every step of the way. And I honestly believe if there is something to change about WaCo it'd be the food. Besides that I don't think I could ask for a better high school experience.

This place sucked so much that I would not even want to begin thinking that I wasted 4 years of my formative years here.
