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.

The best parts of the experience is the community that is built within the highschool. I feel the worst parts, and things the school could change would be the total school culture, and diversity.

Very upset with Michael Wick the Agricultural Teacher who has ignored my many request to resolve a situation regarding a class trip to Switzerland and Germany. His failure to assist with problems with registration of the school trip has turned into a fiasco. The school and the tour company currently owe me $5,800.00. This situation has still not been resolved. This teacher blames blames blames. Zero Accountability. I would not recommend signing your student up for any class trips. Horrible how my Son and I have been treated then I'm made out to be the bad guy.

I enjoyed some of the student-teacher relationships I formed with some of my teachers. Some I could tell really cared for my well-being which I appreciated!

My kids did OK. I don't think they had a poor experience but didn't have a great one either. They are both high achieving honors students. We moved to this community for the schools, but by the time our children were old enough to attend WHS it had changed significantly. Based on our research when w...
