I had an overall good experience at Washington High School. I participated in a program called Early College Academy, which allowed me to graduate with my diploma and associate degree. That said, I have not been to the high school since my sophomore year. However, for the two years that I was there, I had great teachers who were always ready to help and gave me a great high school experience.

Washington High School has been a great high school for students to pick preferences in classes they want to take. Most all teachers are great and respectful to all students as long as they receive respect.

I love Washington. There is a very tight-knit community with a lot of traditions. I have learned so much and the Art Department especially has had a huge impact on my life. It has truly been a wonderful past 4 years!

My son was bullied so bad he just refused to go to high school, we decided it was not safe for him to be there and proceeded to home school him. It is a...

I was not too happy with this school. I myself, go to the school. The teachers never really seem to care what students do, and that is a major factor to controlling a school. Also, if you have a bullying problem or school problem, the school will simply tell you to leave and figure it out on your ow...
