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.

As a student, I have felt safe and included at Washougal High School. Most of my teachers have been well-qualified and effective at teaching their subjects. I personally have benefited from our standards-based grading system, but I know others have struggled and it has been constantly changing in an effort to find the best system. I have felt that counseling resources have a lack of preparation to help students academically, and I would like them to be more prepared.

Washougal High school is a truly remarkable school, featuring many metalworking, woodworking and small engine classes, it gives students some incredible opportunities.

Washougal is a very small town country school. You know everyone. But it is very poorly funded. There isn't a ton of school sprit but those that have it really have it. It is very easy to get to know and build relationships with your classmates and teacher because it is so small. But that can also tend to cause a fair but if drama. As far as academics go there are many opportunities to grow and succeed, but there is also some things that could be done better. Like the grading system.
