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.

My best experience is being apart of the athletic department. Having the opportunity to cheer, run track and play flag football is the best thing. One thing I dislike is the way administrators handle situations (drama). Other then that going to WLA has been an wonderful experience.
