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 my experience at Wauconda High School was amazing. The faculty was so awesome and the staff was very organized.

Wauconda High School is a great school for sports, music, and academics. It is a somewhat small school which makes the students feel more connected with each other. I have made so many friends here and I love going to events with them. Something I would like to see change here is a better health curriculum. Not just Health but other classes like Anatomy.
