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 Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

WSHS focuses on the less academcially focused students rather than the kids who want to better their education. Rather than focusing on the students who want to prep for college and workforce, they focus on passing the most amount of students possible.

Waterville Senior High School is a great school. I wish I had gotten more involved with the things they had there. The community is great, the teachers are all kind and supportive. The clubs and events were diverse and fun. I highly recommend it to anyone planning on going there.
