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.

Great school for those entering high school or transferring. Offers animal science and health science courses that prepare students for college and allow them to get their associates.

Washington High School is a very decent schools. I did not have the best experience but that doesn't mean others wont. This school goes out of there way to make sure students are in class. The guidance counselors are very supportive and they always know what to say to make your day go a little better.
