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.

I have enjoyed my high school experience at Watervliet Jr. Sr. High School. The teachers are amazing and the atmosphere for learning and thriving has been amazing. The teachers and administrators all know you personally and take an interest in your wellbeing and mental health. They also encourage you to do better and to go out in the world and make the changes you want to see in the world.

It's a very nice school, the people are very friendly. We have a lot of clubs and sports that a lot of people are in, our community comes together as a family. The teachers are nice and they help their students.

I like this school better than Stillwater. I have more friends and I've done so much better. The teachers are good here. I would recommend it. I have never been bullied.
