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.

So far in the three years I've been attending Washington High School I have seen lots of improvement in my overall academics and I have also gotten the chance to get involved in extracurricular activities thanks to the abundance of opportunities the school has given their alumni. Even though there are many opportunities for students to get involved into such as clubs I do wish there was more advertising of these clubs. But in the last year there has been new growth of clubs which I am very excited to see in the next year. I am glad there is more student involvement in my school.

For the past 4 years of being in Washington High School, I have gotten many opportunities to further my academic goals and have been taught how to prepare for life and any challenges that may be thrown at me.

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...
