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 loved my time at Wayland High School. The food in the cafeteria was not the best but it was edible. My teachers were all very nice and I understood most of my classes. The arts programs are amazing!

I was bullied during my four years at WHS, and the staff did not intervene. The bullying caused me to have problems in my wellbeing and academics.

Wayland High School provides a very high level of education that prepares you for future studies in college and life. The environment among students is very competitive and sometimes stressful, but the teachers are very available for support.

Amazing Teachers and great curriculum. Kids are encouraged to pursue what they are good at rather than follow the line.

Wayland is a unique place to go to high school. Students are somewhat sheltered because by the time you get to college...people are very different. Wayland will always have a special place in my heart because I know that I am truly privileged to attend such a fine school system.

Great school equipped with many new tools in order to better prepare the already fantastic teachers. Great students. Great education. Enough said.

This is a great school. With the new high school building being put in place, and the swimming pool completely renovated (almost as new), students will definitely have more to benefit from.
