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.

The community of Watkins Glen never fails to amaze me. Always routing together and helping the people in need. Knowing that these people will always be there for you brings a sense of security for the children and families who are apart of this community and school. You need this type of school to community relationship even in small school districts it is very important knowing you can turn every angle and someone will be there for you. I believe if Watkins Glen continues this they will in the future be the poster school for small public schools across New York State.

Could have been better. Money could have gone somewhere else other than sports. Better pay for the teachers.

I enjoyed my experience at Watkins Glen High School. I made many great friends, excelled in my classes, and when I didn't I received positive assistance from teachers and faculty. During the 2016-2017 school year, there were two State Championships won in team sports, but they were the first two in years. Overall WGHS is a solid small school with good connections and more opportunities than would be expected.
3/10 I have tried multiple times to make the best of my situation but every time I think I am in a good place regarding school and peers something else happens and it seems as if close to none really care about what actually goes on in this school.
