My experience at Wash High hasn't been good nor bad, I feel like I have met so many great people there, but also the staffing could be better and activities for the students as well, other than learning. I think many people think Wash High is a bad school but to me, people you have grown with over the years have been connected, for the most part, through similar classes.. so you all still have the bond to continue building throughout high school.
