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.

They do not care about students or parents here. The school and it's staff are a joke. They disrespect you if you are a stepparent and dismiss you when concerned about a stepchild's schooling. Send your child to Trinity instead of this joke for a school.

I was a pretty good student at Washington High, a lot happens and is overall a pretty good high school. It teaches you things about life that other schools just simply can't teach. Such as seeing people from every single way of life all the way from income to which side of town you live on. Wash High has forever shaped my life.
