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 liked the teachers and the sports at the high school. Im currently going for a D1 school for track and field because the coaches are very involved in the sports. The academics are very strong as we have alot of 4.0 students graduating. One thing I would change would be the parking around the school.

I enjoy attending Washington High School because of the many opportunities I get to serve my community and to be involved. I would like to see more learning opportunities outside of the standard and more flexibility within our schedules.

The school has a lot of potential for growth but also a lot of areas it could improve. I enjoyed playing sports here but this school is very biased based on who you are, who your family is, or if you played sports/what you offered to the school.

Washington High School: Are we now graduating an individual/individuals that have not attended Washington High School in over two years and have failed out of the high school/schools that they transferred to. something very wrong when we become known as a "Diploma Mill" High School. Seriously think...
