Watertown High school has a strong feeling of community. The school has very nice facilities and average to below resources. Administration is unprofessional while many of the teachers are excellent.

I love the size of the highschool. As a single parent I couldn't afford private school and this is like going to a private school without expensive tuition. I moved to be zoned to this school for my kids. The class ratios are small, the teachers and administration communicate very well and they work to really find your kids place after highschool. I don't think they push them all to college. They see where their strengths are and help guide them to success post highschool,no matter the path. They don't have as many options for foreign language or elective studies but the programs they have are strong and growing. I do think they could have some more fun things for the students throughout the year. Most of the sports teams atleast advance to district and some have gone all the way. If you want to be involved you absolutely can be at Watertown with it being smaller. They might not be as big but that works to some kids advantage that might not get that opportunity at a bigger high.

A+. This school has been a God send. It’s not perfect, it has its flaws but if you’re wanting perfection, you should probably homeschool.

A good majority of the students here are immature, closed minded racists, homophobes and just simply ignorant. If you are not like them or dont laugh at their horribly offensive jokes you will not be treated well at all. The teachers are a joke. They focus more on just throwing material and you than...
