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 have been at WMPCS since Kindergarten, and my experience has been very positive. All of my teachers have been supportive and kind which added to my learning experience and performance.

The school is a great idea, but the people who run it don't treat all the students the same. Most students are teachers kids and board members kids and they rule the school. No lunchroom or auditorium or buses. Very snooty employees, students, staff, board. Clickish. Above the law. Very behind academically. Kids don't ever have homework. Low EOG scores.

Instead, they raised their voices, got in our faces, and ultimately banned us from the school rather than working toward a...
